  • The Roots and Development of Jewish Feminism in the United States, 1972-Present: a Path Toward Uncertain Equality
    Aquila - The FGCU Student Research Journal The Roots and Development of Jewish Feminism in the United States, 1972-Present: A Path Toward Uncertain Equality Jessica Evers Division of Social & Behavioral Sciences, College of Arts & Sciences Faculty mentor: Scott Rohrer, Ph.D., Division of Social & Behavioral Sciences, College of Arts & Sciences ABSTRACT This research project involves discovering the pathway to equality for Jewish women, specifically in Reform Judaism. The goal is to show that the ordination of the first woman rabbi in the United States initiated Jewish feminism, and while this raised awareness, full-equality for Jewish women currently remains unachieved. This has been done by examining such events at the ordination process of Sally Priesand, reviewing the scholarship of Jewish women throughout the waves of Jewish feminism, and examining the perspectives of current Reform rabbis (one woman and one man). Upon the examination of these events and perspectives, it becomes clear that the full-equality of women is a continual struggle within all branches of American Judaism. This research highlights the importance of bringing to light an issue in the religion of Judaism that remains unnoticed, either purposefully or unintentionally by many, inside and outside of the religion. Key Words: Jewish Feminism, Reform Judaism, American Jewish History INTRODUCTION “I am a feminist. That is, I believe that being a woman or a in the 1990s and up to the present. The great accomplishments man is an intricate blend of biological predispositions and of Jewish women are provided here, however, as the evidence social constructions that varies greatly according to time and illustrates, the path towards total equality is still unachieved.

  • Were Delivered by Rav Avi on Shabbat Afternoon March 6 to An
    These words (with slight editing) were delivered by Rav Avi on Shabbat afternoon March 6th to an audience of approximately 250 of the Bayit's members and friends. Following his remarks, a Q & A session brought many voices from the community into the conversation. We welcome your questions and feedback as well. I'd like to acknowledge the presence of Rabba Sara Hurwitz. Throughout this whole ordeal, she has carried herself with grace and humility and wanted little more than to continue her work as a spiritual leader in the Bayit. Sara supports this open discussion and has been involved in shaping the direction of this process at every step of the way. The change of title from Maharat to Rabba has precipitated controversy in our community which was unintended and unexpected. The fallout has powerfully affected Sara. It has also affected our Bayit. I am to blame as I failed to process the change before it happened, and did not properly explicate its meaning. What I’d like to do this Shabbat is outline in general terms some of the issues which are at play as a starting point to engage in meaningful conversation on the matter. It is most important to know what Rabba means. Functionally, Rabba is no different from Maharat. Maharat Sara Hurwitz’s role did not change one iota when she became Rabba Sara Hurwitz. Let me explain: Our Orthodox model for women in general and women in leadership differs dramatically from the Conservative and Reform model. In Conservative and Reform Judaism a woman’s role is identical to a man’s role.
