\nis serious.As I demonstrated in this random checking the names on the lay and professional
\nleadership list. My goal in publishing this was not to ridicule nor blame but rather call on each
\none of us to do Cheshbon Nefesh. This exercise should be repeated at your Shul, the schools
\nyour kids attend and the Jewish courts, when needed. You will find that women, not only can
\nnot serve in the Rabbinate but it manifested into all leadership\/powerful positions in town: Rosh
\nYeshiva nor Dayan or president of the Temple\/Yeshiva… isn’t time to rethink this? <\/p>\n
\nwhen we are silenced…YET, there is a greater concern: What about our daughters? They attended
\nthe finest universities… They deserve better. We raised and invested in them, just as much as we
\ndid for our boys. Do we expect them to go to the back seats as 2nd rate members of the K’hilah?
\nWhat message are we giving them and what treatment should they expected from their husbands
\nand in the marketplace? <\/p>\n
\nErlicheh’ caring Avot in our town, who take great pride in their daughters, as well. The time has
\ncome to institute changes and correct some inherit wrongs in our Derech, as it is written:
\n“And G-d said: Let there be light…” Let us illuminate the darkness setting on us. Amen, Ken Yehee Ratzon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
