Boston Women Rabbis
The Boston Women Rabbis Oral History Collection is part of a larger project, The Story Archive of Women Rabbis, aimed at preserving and celebrating women rabbis’ invaluable contributions to the Jewish community. Co-directors Ronda Spinak and Lynne Himelstein conducted these interviews, documenting the challenges, triumphs, and unique perspectives of trailblazing women who have broken barriers and paved the way for gender equality within religious leadership. This project creates an enduring legacy that inspires future generations and enhances our understanding of the role of women in religious leadership. The Boston interviews were conducted in partnership with JWA in 2014. Excerpts of some also appear in JWA’s Women Rabbis collection.
