Kolech-Religious Women’s Forum is the first Orthodox Jewish feminist organization in Israel.  Kolech aims to increase public awareness and bring about change in Israeli religious society by:  disseminating the values of gender equality and mutual respect between men and women; encouraging equal opportunities for women in the public arena; initiating equal opportunity legislation that benefits all Jewish women in Israel; advancing women's rights and women’s leadership in religious and halachic (Jewish legal) spheres; encouraging greater equality for women in matters of personal status, such as marriage and divorce; and engaging in an uncompromising battle against all forms of gender violence

 

 

Parashat Chukat
(Written by Avigail Antman, translated by Judith Green) (Weekly Parsha)
And the stream of the wadis that goes down to the dwelling of ´Ar, and lies upon the border of Mo´av. And from there they went to Be´er, that is the well concerning which the Lord spoke to Moses, "Gather the people together and I will give them water." Then Israel sang this song, "Spring up, O well! sing to it: the well that the princes dug out, that the nobles of the people excavated, with the scepter, with their rods. And from the wilderness they went to Mattana; and from Mattana to Nahali´el; and from Nahali´el to Bamot; and from Bamot to the valley, that is in the country of Mo´av, to the top of Pisga, which looks out towards the wasteland." (Numbers 21:15-20)
