In the summer of 1986, Israel was the site of, among other things, the following events:
• a special Knesset session on the problems faced by Israeli women at the hands of the state’s rabbinical courts.
• a conference held in Jerusalem for educators concerned with developing nonsexist curricula for Israeli schools.
• an international women’s music festival held in Be’er Sheva.
