Timeline of women rabbis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a timeline of women rabbis:

  • 2010s:
    • 2010: Alina Treiger, born in Ukraine, became the first female rabbi to be ordained in Germany since World War II.[127][128][129][130]
    • 2011: Antje Deusel became the first German-born woman to be ordained as a rabbi in Germany since the Nazi era.[131] She was ordained by Abraham Geiger College.[132]
    • 2011: American Rachel Isaacs became the first openly lesbian rabbi ordained by the Conservative Jewish movement's Jewish Theological Seminary of America.[133]
    • 2011: Sandra Kviat became the first female rabbi from Denmark; she was ordained in England.[134][135]
    • 2012: Ilana Mills was ordained, thus making her, Jordana Chernow-Reader, and Mari Chernow the first three female siblings in America to become rabbis.[136][137]
    • 2012: Alona Lisitsa became the first female rabbi in Israel to join a religious council.[138] Although Leah Shakdiel, who was not a rabbi, joined the Yerucham religious council in 1988 after a Supreme Court decision in her favor, no female rabbi had joined a religious council until Lisitsa joined Mevasseret Zion's in 2012.[138] She was appointed to the council three years before that, but the Religious Affairs Ministry delayed approving her appointment until Israel's High Court of Justice ordered it to.[139]
    • 2012: American Emily Aviva Kapor, who had been ordained privately by a "Conservadox" rabbi in 2005, began living as a woman in 2012, thus becoming the first openly transgender female rabbi.[140]
    • 2014: American rabbi Deborah Waxman was inaugurated as the president of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College and Jewish Reconstructionist Communities on October 26, 2014.[141] As the president of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College, she is believed to be the first woman and first lesbian to lead a Jewish congregational union, and the first female rabbi and first lesbian to lead a Jewish seminary; the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College is both a congregational union and a seminary.[73][142]
    • 2014: American rabbi Judith Hauptman became the first guest lecturer from abroad to address the Israeli Knesset’s weekly religious study session.[143]
    • 2015: Ute Steyer became the first female rabbi in Sweden.[144]
    • 2015: Mira Rivera, born in Michigan,[145] became the first Filipino-American woman to be ordained as a rabbi.[146]
    • 2015: Lila Kagedan, born in Canada, became the first graduate of Yeshivat Maharat to use the title "Rabbi".[147][148] She officially became the first female Modern Orthodox rabbi in the United States of America when the Modern Orthodox Mount Freedom Jewish Center in Randolph, New Jersey hired her as a spiritual leader in January 2016.[149][150]
    • 2015: Abby Stein came out as transgender and thus became the first openly transgender woman to have been ordained by an Orthodox Jewish institution, having received her rabbinical degree in 2011, before coming out as transgender.[151][152] Since then she worked in many capacities as a rabbi.[153] In 2018, she co-founded Sacred Space, a multi-faith project "which celebrates women and non-binary people of all faith traditions".[154]
    • 2016: After four years of deliberation, Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion decided to give women being ordained as rabbis a choice of wording on their ordination certificates beginning in 2016, including the option to have the same wording as men.[155] Previously, male candidates' ordination certificates identified them by the Reform movement's traditional "morenu harav," or "our teacher the rabbi," while female candidates' certificates only used the term "rav u’morah," or "rabbi and teacher."[155]
    • 2017: During this year Connie Golden served as the first woman president of the (American) National Association of Retired Reform Rabbis.[156][157]
    • 2017: Nitzan Stein Kokin, who was German, became the first person to graduate from Zecharias Frankel College in Germany, which also made her the first Conservative rabbi to be ordained in Germany since before World War II.[158][159]
    • 2018: Dina Brawer, born in Italy but living in Britain, was ordained by Yeshivat Maharat and thus became Britain's first female Orthodox rabbi; she chose the title "rabba", the feminine form of rabbi.[160][161]
    • 2018: Lauren Tuchman was ordained at the Jewish Theological Seminary, becoming the first blind woman to enter the rabbinate.[162]
