Women
Rabbis
Exploration and Celebration

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. |
