Reply To: Why Can't Women Get Modern Smicha and Become Rabbis?

If you would come out with a statement that it is assur to ordain women and you expect people to follow it then for the same price you can come out with a statement that is limited to what is actually assur and expect them to follow it. You don’t have to make gezeiros. Why don’t we actually say that you can’t give semicha to a man because once he has semicha he might do gittin and kiddushin despite not being knowledgeable in those areas. ?? ????? ???? ???? ????? ???????? ?? ??? ?? ??? ????. We don’t just invent gezeiros like that. And besides, if I were to grant that we would make such a gezeira then it should be noted as a gezeira not as “assur”.
