    I just wanted to say one thing. The prohibition against teaching one's
 daughter Torah is the forcible teaching. Each fathe is obligated to make
 sure that his on learns Torah. We learn this from the verse in the Shema,
 " v'limadtem otam et b'neichem " [ and you shall teach your sons ]. The 
 Torah did not obligate the father to teach his daughter. However, if the 
 girl wants to learn Torah, should we push her away? G-D forbid. If she wants
 to learn, teach her, just don't force her to learn. This is the idea behind the
 quote which is so often taken out of context.
