DESCRIPTION:<p style='text-align: center\;'><strong>The Politics of Gender 
 Exclusion</strong><br />Naomi Paiss\, NIF Director of Communications</p>\n
 <p><br />Since the founding of the state\, women in Israel have made great
  strides.  Yet\, in a nation with no separation of religion and state\, t
 hese advancements have always been juxtaposed with the demands and rules o
 f a patriarchical Orthodox rabbinate.  And today\, an increasingly radica
 lized ultra-Orthodox minority in Israel are attempting to undo even the mo
 st basic rights for women. The exclusion of women in Israel has become a h
 ot topic of debate around the world.  From the Knesset to Israel’s Supr
 eme Court to the front pages of the NY Times\, the issue is generating con
 versation about the status of women\, the right to freedom of – and from
  – religion and the limits of power for a fundamentalist minority.  Thi
 s session will discuss the  activists working to ensure equal rights and 
 religious freedom and ways that you can take action and make your voices h
 eard.</p> <div class='joomla_add_this'><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->\n<scr
