OOM: Hi! 🙂
That was not what I was trying to say. I didn’t use all those words for no reason, you know.
OK, let’s discuss the other part of the post.
Insomuch as I am familiar with the halachic process, halacha is not (in principle) derived from “Jewish values.” Halacha should be the sole arbiter of Jewish values, but as I outlined above, I do not think that is the reality. And let’s not quibble about terminology. When I use the words “egalitarianism” and “feminism,” I mean only exactly what I have outlined above, without regard to other definitions you may have have in mind.
I am not familiar with the halachic process so no comment on that.
We agree that “Halacha should be the sole arbiter of Jewish values”. I think it is. Why do you think it isn’t?
