Talmud Torah

Women, slaves, and infants are not required to study the Torah

A woman who studied the Torah has a reward coming to her but...because she was not commanded to do so, and whosoever does something which is not mandatory upon him to perform receives not a hire equal to the hire of him who is commanded to perform it but less than he.

The Sages taught: The daughters of Zelophehad are wise, they are interpreters of verses, and they are righteous.

Rabbi Yoḥanan said: The Holy One, Blessed be He, rests His Divine Presence only upon one who is mighty, and wealthy, and wise, and humble.

There is no wisdom other than the Torah

The Sages taught in a baraita: Forty-eight prophets and seven prophetesses prophesied on behalf of the Jewish people

Regarding a door bolt: Rabbi Tarfon declares it impure, but the Sages declare it pure. Beruriah says, "One may remove it from this doorway and hang it on the neighboring doorway on Shabbat." When these words were spoken before Rabbi Joshua, he said, "Beruriah has spoken well (i.e., correctly)."

Berurya, wife of Rabbi Meir and daughter of Rabbi Ḥananya ben Teradyon, was so sharp and had such a good memory that she learned three hundred halakhot in one day from three hundred Sages

A man is required to teach his daughters the mitzvot...he should teach her the laws of mitzvot, because if she does not know the laws of Shabbat how could she keep it? And so too with all of the mitzvot, so she can do them and be cautious with them. In the days of Chizkyahu the King of Yehuda, men and women, great and small knew even the mitzvot of Taharot and Kedoshim, this is why it says "Gather the nation, the men and the women and the children." ... the Shunamit woman would go and listen to the lectures of Elisha, that he said "why are you going to him [Elisha] today is not Rosh Chodesh or Shabbat?" We can infer that on Rosh Chodesh and Shabbat she would go.

Rav Huna bar Yehuda said that Rabbi Ami said: A person should always complete his Torah portions with the congregation. The congregation reads a particular Torah portion every Shabbat, and during the week prior to each Shabbat, one is required to read the Bible text of the weekly portion twice and the translation once.

...as one who completes his Torah portions with the congregation is rewarded that his days and years are extended.

(1) Even though each person hears the Torah reading each week in the public reading, we are obligated to read each parasha twice in the hebrew and once in the Aramaic targum. (Even the cities of Atarot and Divon - Numbers 32:3).
