Reply To: Are the Reform and Conservative Still Jewish?

Those who are lumping together the woman Rabbi issue with halachic issues are not being honest with Cynical. Please show a siman and s’if in Shulchan Oruch where it says women can’t be Rabbis. Each thing they might do has its own halachos. If it involves visiting the sick in the hospital and getting the title of Chaplain, obviously this is fine. If it involves serving as an eid in a marriage, this is not fine. If it involves making speeches in shul and teaching Torah classes, that is probably fine, as well. There have been numerous educated women such as Beruriah, and Devora, etc. who achieved high levels of learning and even served as communal leaders.
