I had the privilege of attending not only this year's ordination in Los Angeles, where all 8 new rabbis were women incidentally, but receptions afterwards for two of them. It's a shame that the above post never mentioned the ordination of Rachel Adler, professor at HUC and certainly one of our foremost Jewish feminist theologians. Sunday afternoon's reception for her included broad range of LA Jewish women [and a few men] who spoke movingly of how she'd influenced them in the 40 years she's been espousing Jewish feminism. Luckily Rachel's daughter-in-law, Rabbi Julie Pelc Adler, videoed many of these, and they're viewable on her Facebook notes: https://www.facebook.com/profi...
