Rabbi Yosef Dov Soloveitchik taught that when important events happen, look at the parsha and allow it to speak to you in a contemporary context.

Women Torah scholars will now be able to obtain the very same level of government-approved accreditation for their Torah knowledge as men do. This decision establishes women will have access to their rightful inheritance in Torah.
