Teaching woman
Isaac Levy asked 5 years ago
- We learn in Parshat Beshalach that there must be a separation between men and woman. In Beshalach, the Pasuk makes a Chazaka (Chazuka=3 legs) when it says that Miriam took the “Tuff”, and then says, “1. They went out 2. The woman 3. After her (chazuka)”. The Torah is very clear that the woman were separate from the men. My question is, in light of all the rabbis that have fell to their Yeser Harah when teaching women, weather in girl schools or seminaries do you think it’s halachacally ok for a man to teach women?

Shalom,
The tradition is for a teacher to be a married man and one who has fulfilled his obligation to marry should if a kosher yirat shmayim wife is his partner be able to teach in a public forum where there is no question of yihud
Hope this answers your question.
Best wishes
