Why Don't Women Read From the Torah in Orthodox Synagogues?

Hi Allison,

I'm reform and don't understand why Orthodox women don't read Torah in temple. If you have not heard Torah sung by a woman you have only heardĀ half of the Torah!! The most important thing is that Torah is READ by someone with a love for it. I would appreciate your thoughts on this. It is something I don't understand.

Thanks,

Chip
