The article presents a thoughtful yet thought provoking response to a topic that is obviously peering around the corner for parts of the orthodox world. I think the author captures the salient arguments which demonstrate the inherent weaknesses in the orthodox position towards ordaining women in the Rabbinate. She is able to pierce the language which seems to honor women but really serves to keep them from reaching their full potential. This is a topic that deserves a wider narrative in the Orthodox world.
