For me, the challenge to a feminist reading of the Talmud is that women's voices are excluded from the text. The Talmud is an amazing document that records many voices and interpretations across the ages, but they are all male voices (even the few stories of women in the Talmud are told by men). Though I have enjoyed the opportunities I've had to study Talmud and there's something very exciting about its dialogic nature, the absence of women's voices and perspectives gets in the way for me and eventually becomes a distraction.
