I think since the inception of organized religion, menfolk have taken special care to take a lead on every thing, right from ceremonies, clergy and on all the matters of religious importance. It gives me great pleasure to see Rabba Sara Hurwitz creating a history of sorts by being the first woman modern orthodox Rabbi ever. I hopes this starts a trend, where more and more women join the clergy. I think other religions can also follow this example, if they haven't done so already.

Today woman are breaking all the boundaries and taboos and standing shoulder to shoulder with men.
