Ross addresses philosophical questions about gender in Judaism by arguing that feminism is not external to Torah but rather integral to it. She argues for the concept of evolving revelation, that is, that people learn more as history evolves and societies develop and mature, and argues against the concept of
Yeridat ha-dorot, the idea that knowledge of Torah diminishes with time. She also argues against approaches of more liberal movements which address perceived flaws by challenging the divinity and religious validity of sacred texts and traditions, arguing that such an approach only undermined the foundations faith. She develops the metaphor of "Expanding the Palace of Torah", originally an idea of
Abraham Isaac Kook, for an approach seeking to address contemporary concerns by expanding rather than undermining religious tradition. Her areas of expertise include the thought of
Abraham Isaac Kook, the modern
Musar movement and the ideology of Mitnaggedism, and Judaism and gender. She is the author of books and articles on Jewish
ethics and
theology, contemporary issues in traditional
Jewish thought,
philosophy of
halakha, and
Orthodox Jewish feminism. Ross is on the Advisory Council of the
Jewish Orthodox Feminist Alliance (JOFA). Ross has published widely on many topics relating to Jewish thought and the philosophy of halakha and was selected by the Israeli government as torchbearer in the Independence Day ceremony of 2013 for her contribution to women's learning. Ross attended
JOFA's conferences over the years. ==Selected works==
