Ten Good Reasons Women Shouldn't Be Rabbas

[onionsoupmix]

1. Rabbas go to shul and talk about divrei torah. Real Jewish women go to shul and talk about who really should not be wearing such a tight dress and who should have been married by now if it wasn't for how picky she is.

2. Rabbas visit the sick. Real Jewish women say a kapitel tehillim and tell you to check your mezzuzos. Bikkur Cholim is just not

So, let's say we'll have a female rabbi eventually. But it would still be the same boring things - gebrokts, skirts lengths, untznius blouses, jewish school tuition etc.

At least it will be a glimmer of hope that Judaism is not stale...

[hamaskil]

It isn't, there are conservative and reform. Eventually orthodox will divide into different parts, one would accept female rabbis, one would not - but I don't think there will be much benefit out of it, at least for the time being...

As "real Jewish women" do learn for a long time, but not C"V Torah learning. Only secular learning to provide a parnossa so their husband may spend the day in kollel.

The best reason Rabbi weiss should not give smicha to a woman is that the RCA would have thrown him out and invalidated all the conversions on which he served on the beit din. then all the children of those conversions would not be considered Jewish. Granted, chabad probably doesn't consider them Jewish, anyway. But still a lot of innocent people would have been hurt just because he wanted to make a point.

[onionsoupmix]

Are all of tropper's conversions invalidated?

[onionsoupmix]

What are the good reasons that the RCA has for not giving smicha to a woman? That the Agudah would get mad and invalidate all of their conversions? How far does this go?

[mrn613]

Weiss has already been treading on thin ice with the RCA re conversions:

I am not 100% on the back-story.

onionsoupmix, I find it very inspiring how you sublimate your anger into humour that makes everybody laugh.

I will try to emulate you. Instead of holding long diatribes about what I find awfull, I'll try and make people laugh.

Thank you for your blog. A few months ago, I read it all through, I just could not stop (although I suppose that the reality you described back than angered you a lot).

Keep it up
