Chasydki, Me’a Sze’arim, Jerozolima

The photograph shows two young women (one of whom is married, as evidenced by her headgear) immersed in reading. Hasidism emphasises the study of Torah and the scriptures, but this is the domain of men who often devote whole days to this activity. Women can read, but their main task is to look after the home and children.
