I just wonder why you were referrning to "the jew" as "he" all the time?... Hmmm...
I wasn't, Mark Twain was.
And female rabbis in the orthodox jewish movement!? In 10 years?!? That'd be something.
Again, they will most likely be referred to by something other than Rabbi.
Did you consult google before responded to my comments?
"According to Rabbi Saul Berman of New York, one of Orthodox feminism's leading rabbinic advisers, most of the women seeking counsel from these female interpreters of Jewish law, known as yoatzot halachah, are haredi (fervently Orthodox) - the most anti-feminist Orthodox community."
"Two New York City synagogues have created congregational internships, where scholarly women work as teachers of both men and women, speak from the pulpit and fulfill other duties similar to those of male seminary students who work as rabbinic interns."
"Change has also been felt in Israel, where learned young women are now serving as interpreters of Jewish law in certain areas of halachic expertise."
"Advances in women's participation in Orthodox life were also reflected in the four booklets put out by the Jewish Orthodox Feminist Alliance, known as JOFA."
You might be able to get more info from JOFA if you are interested in this subject.
There have been female ordained Rabbis since 1972. Rabbi Sally Priesand was the first Jewish woman to be ordained as a Rabbi, by the Reform Movement.
Since then, all sects of Judaism, except the Orthodox, have supported within the pattern of Jewish law, ordaining women as Rabbis and Cantors.
In an estimated 10 years there will be women ordained "Rabbis" by the Orthodox branch of Judaism. However, they will most likely be referred to as something other than Rabbi.
"If statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of stardust lost in the blaze of the Milky way. properly, the Jew ought hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of. He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk. His contributions to the world's list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also away out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvelous fight in this world, in all the ages; and had done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it. The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Roman followed, and made a vast noise, and they are gone. Other peoples have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?"
