Greenspan: Jews ready for woman rabbi
Changes'is Judaism have followed
the changes in society so that Reformed
Jews will accept a woman rabb/accor-.
ding to Ellen Greenspan, rabbinical
candidate.
Greenspan, who spoke Monday morning
on campus and Sunday night at Temple
Beth Israel, explained how the role of
women is changing within Judaism.
"In our grandmother's day a woman's
role was to be a wife and mother—she
didn't have the responsibilities of a male
within the Judaic faith,"she said: "Today
it is changing. Women are learning

rabbis. The changes in Judaism parallel
changes in society as a whole."
Her presentation, sponsored by Hillel,
the Jewish student organization, and
I u nded by the Association Students and
the Jewish Welfare Fund, focused on
'The changes in
Judaism parallel
changes in society
as a whole.'
—Greenspan
the changing role of women within
Reformed Judaism ascompared to Orthodox Judaism.
Greenspan, belonging to the reformed
movement, briefly highlighted the different ideologies within Judaism.
"The Orthodox Jew sceslhe Talmud
(Jewish law)as given by God and unchangeable. He adheres lo the law. which
sets limits on a woman's role. Whereas,
the Reformed Jew sees Ihe law as created
for a specific time and place and must
change with society. Thus in Reformed
Judaism, women are permitted a more
According to Greenspan, historically
the law discriminates against women.
She cited examples of legal status and
Greenspan said that under the law
women, have the same legal status as
slave or child, thus for example, they
ever, when a male slave is freed and a
male child mature, full legal status is
granted. Women, on the other hand,
can never improve their position. '
With regard to the birth of a child, the
law elevates a male above a female.
"Reading from the law," Greenspan
said, " 'when a boy is born, a blessing.'
However, the law.sees the female as a
burden or undesirable: 'When a girl is
born the walls weep.' How can a woman
feel positive about herself?" she said.
Greenspan said that while the traditional law is still followed in Orthodox
Judaism, the Reformed or liberal movement began changing the law in the
eighteenth century.
"People began to look at the way it
has always been done and see if it was
really the best way," she said. "The
reform movement shed the outward
garments and some of the traditions of
Orthodoxy to give both women and
men a better way."
The right of women to serve as rabbis
was first acknowledged in 1922—although
it was not until 1977 that the first
woman was ordained.
Greenspan said that the reason for
the time lag was simply that society was
not willing to accept a woman religious
leader until the 1970s,
Currently there arc about 60 women
rabbis in the United States and Greenspan
said that 30 percent of her rabbinical
colleagues arc women.
"I think society is more willing to
accept women today (as religious leaders)." she said. "In the 1970s it seemed
women entered male dominated careers,
such as rabbinical studies, more to
prove something. Their concerns were,
for equal treatment and conditions.
Whereas, my colleagues and I share the
same academic concerns as our male
counterparts."
Greenspan said that she sees the job
of the rabbi in Reformed Judaism as
multi-faceted.
"The rabbi should be an educator,
counselor, religious leader—above just ,
performing the service—and a nonpartisan social activist. While endorsing
