"#Rabbis and #rabbinical #students in the #UnitedStates are more #diverse than ever today, with increasing numbers of #women and #LGBTQ+ people. Women from earlier generations who became rabbis marvel at the greater opportunities available for those pursuing #clergy roles.

“Women have transformed #Judaism,” said Geller, #rabbi emerita of Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills, California. “All the different kinds of movements have really noticed that Judaism needs to change because women’s voices were ignored in the past.”

#Orthodox branches of Judaism generally don't allow women to be rabbis, with some exceptions. But #Reform and #Conservative, the largest movements in the #US, permit it, as does the growing nondenominational branch.

Nationwide, the #Jewish community has become more diverse, so it makes sense that the #rabbinate would be as well, said Janet Krasner Aronson, interim director of the Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies at Brandeis University."
