DYSPEPSIA GENERATION

Damned if She Does, Damned if She Doesn’t

24th January 2008

Read it. Orthodox seminary in Israel decides to start ordaining women rabbis.

Naturally this is hailed in “feminist” circles.

Giving learned female teachers the title of rabbi is a big deal—it may grant them better pay and more respect at the schools they work in.

But, of course, just sticking a label on a duck doesn’t make it a drake.

 But as for whether this will herald the beginning of an era of Orthodox women rabbis, it’s not so clear that the title will be recognized within the Orthodox world.

This is a pervasive tendency within the human animal that Regressives just don’t seem able to wrap their minds around.
