(RNS) Women who would be Orthodox rabbis had a major setback Friday (October 30) when the highest religious body for Modern Orthodox Jews ruled against their ordination.
The Rabbinical Council of America officially prohibited the ordination of women, or the use of the term rabbi or maharat for women, in what it described as a direct vote of its membership.
