The purpose of this article is to explore, explain and define the ap-proach of my revered uncle and mentor, Ray Yosef Dov Solovei-tchik zt"/, to the entire issue of women's prayer groups, hakkafot, aliyot and all of the sundry other topics that have emerged from the feminist movement. Such an effort would normally require but a few sentences, for the Ray's position was clear and unequivocal; furthermore, he articulated his views clearly to all those who asked him. However, since his view has been misinterpreted, willfully or otherwise, it is important to show how his position and public posture on feminism fit into his total approach to halakha and communal leadership. I write these lines not only from the perspective of a close disciple, but also from that of one who was privileged to be part of his family and household, and who was able to know him, speak to him and learn from him as only a family member can.
