Jackie Mason’s life that occupied our minds and souls of daily life, of family, workplace and com- routine aside, during the High Holiday season? Do we munity, if we spent all day contemplating about the Jewish really want to jettison that awareness so the unknown and unknowable paths that holidays always being early or late but quickly? Do we really want to lose those our lives and those of our loved ones never on time, I think it’s safe to say that rose-colored lenses that enable us to see might take. -

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. -

Rabbinic Statement on the Mosque Burning in Israel
Rabbinic Statement on the Mosque Burning in Israel כי ביתי בית תפילה יקרא לכל העמים My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples As religious leaders and representatives of Jewish houses of worship around the world, we wish to express our deep sadness and outrage at the desecration of a mosque in the Bedouin village of Tuba-Zangariya in the north of Israel. We condemn this act as an affront to G-d and to the values of our Torah. We extend a hand in friendship and solidarity to the leaders and residents of the town, a prayer for their safety and peace in the days to come, and a hope that those who perpetrated this despicable act will be brought to justice. We condemn those in Israel who exacerbate conflict and strife, and who insist that only one people or religion belongs to this land. We thank the Israeli leadership – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Shimon Peres, the Chief Rabbis of Israel and others – who have spoken out forcefully against this incident. They have demonstrated the Jewish values woven into the very fabric of the State of Israel, whose Declaration of Independence guarantees that Israel will “safeguard the sanctity and inviolability of the shrines and Holy Places of all religions”. We are grateful for the actions of the many organizations and individuals in Israel who have already raised their voices on behalf of Israel’s highest and truest values. We urge them to continue to take a public stand for the values of pluralism and mutual respect, and against violence, exclusion and racism. -
