Question

The Yiddish tkhines (“t’HEE-ness”) prayers were written specifically for these people. According to the Talmud, these people are given an extra measure of binah (“bee-NAH”), or inherent wisdom, which is contrasted with chokhmah (“hohkh-MAH”). Two organizations named for these people “of the wall” and “for the wall” differ in their opinion on (-5[1])how these people should pray at the Western (10[1])Wall. (10[1])These people carry out almost all negative (10[1])mitzvot but are generally exempt from time-bound positive mitzvot. These people may immerse themselves in a mikveh after they become niddah (“nee-DAH”), or impure. (10[1])Orthodox tradition requires these people to follow the laws of tzniut (“ts’nee-OOT”) by wearing a sheitel (10[1])(“SHY-tull”), a type of wig. (10[1])These people were first allowed to count in a minyan or serve as (-5[1])rabbis in Reform Judaism. For 10 points, (10[1])name these people whose coming of age is celebrated at a bat mitzvah. ■END■ (10[1]0[1])

ANSWER: Jewish women [or isha; or nashim; or neshot; accept niddah until read; accept Women of the Wall or Neshot HaKotel; accept Women for the Wall or Nashim Leman HaKotel]
