Ultra-Orthodox Women and Siyum Ha-Shas
Kikar Hashabat, Ynet, and NRG are all reporting about a gathering of thousands of ultra-Orthodox women in Bnei Brak to celebrate Siyum Hashas. Kikar Hashabat was very interested in all of the wives of important rabbis who were in the spotlight. Ynet addressed the question about how thousands of women celebrated an event, the completing of the Talmud, that they did not participate in. Ynet brought the following quote from Ruti Atias, the organizer of the event.
I wanted to give a platform to all of the little and big things for which the ultra-Orthodox woman sacrificed every day in order to make it possible for her husband to study Torah.

“Ynet addressed the question about how thousands of women celebrated an event, the completing of the Talmud, that they did not participate in.”
Classic example of liberal hypcrisy, that it can even ask the question. Do they ask why millions of people watched the olympics, even though they didnt particiapte in it? Did they ask why all of the US is supposed to celebrate Black History month, even though more than 80% of the country isnt black?
You can multiply my examples a thousand-fold. Life is filled with cases where people celebrate or applaud accomplishments they themselves didnt accomplish. (And yes, lest someone make a weak distinction, that includes cases where they didnt have the option of participating.) When someone is blinded by feminist or other leftwing claptrap, all logic escapes him. Sheesh.

In the Olympics the spectator/participant distinction is very clear, lehavdil, similar to what happened here.

Exactly. And yet no one finds it strange that millions of non-particiapants celebrate it. Whereas in the case of women and shas, the writer wonders why non-participants would celebrate it. Liberalsim blinds logic.
