Women Rabbis
Exploration and Celebration
Papers Delivered at an Academic Conference Honoring Twenty Years of Women in the Rabbinate 1972-1992

Edited by Gary P. Zola
The essays address many intriguing questions: What has been the history of women's journey to ordination? How has the existence of women rabbis changed and challenged Reform Judaism and the larger Jewish community? What impact has this transformation of the rabbinate had on liturgy and theology, Jewish identity and Jewish communal leadership? And how will women rabbis affect the future of the rabbinate, congressional life, and Jewish communal life as we enter the twenty-first century. Considered together, these essays constitute a unique blend of scholarship and ceremony, exploration and celebration. It is hoped that this collection will serve as a springboard for future research into the modern Jewish woman and her unfolding role in the contemporary world of Jewish thought and practice.
