Opis

The decision of the Jewish Theological Seminar to ordain women for the rabbinate constituted a watershed in American Jewish history. This volume will be of interest not only to a student of the place of women in Jewish law, but to any student of Halakhah, for uinderlying the opinions on the admission of women to the Rabbinical School is the fundamental question of the role of social forces in the shaping of the Halakhah.
