I just wonder why you were referrning to "the jew" as "he" all the time? ... Hmmm ... I wasn't, Mark Twain was. And female rabbis in the orthodox jewish movement!? In 10 years?!? That'd be something. Again, they will most likely be referred to by something other than Rabbi. Did you consult google before responded to my comments? "According to Rabbi Saul Berman of New York, one of Orthodox feminism's leading rabbinic advisers, most of the women seeking counsel from these female interpreters of Jewish law, known as yoatzot halachah, are haredi (fervently Orthodox) - the most anti-feminist Orthodox community." "Two New York City synagogues have created congregational internships, where scholarly women work as teachers of both men and women, speak from the pulpit and fulfill other duties similar to those of male seminary students who work as rabbinic interns." "Change has also been felt in Israel, where learned young women are now serving as interpreters of Jewish law in certain areas of halachic expertise." "Advances in women's participation in Orthodox life were also reflected in the four booklets put out by the Jewish Orthodox Feminist Alliance, known as JOFA." You might be able to get more info from JOFA if you are interested in this subject.
