- Abstract:
- Event description: Remember when rabbis and cantors were men and the only public religious leadership roles for women were in synagogue Sisterhood groups? Well, that era is over—in large part because of visionary Brown women who, as Brown students tend to do, said, “No way.” This panel explores how these Brown alumnae began breaking the stained-glass ceiling while still undergraduates and why they made history. Moderator: Judith Rosenbaum AM’98 PhD’04, CEO of the Jewish Women’s Archive. Panelists: Rabbi Ayelet Cohen ’96, Pearl Resnick Dean of The Rabbinical School and Dean of the Division of Religious Leadership at The Jewish Theological Seminary; Rabbi Laura Geller ’71, P’03, P’10, Rabbi Emerita of Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills; Rabbi Jane Kanarek ’92, Professor of Rabbinics and Dean of the Faculty at Hebrew College; Rabbi Sienna Lotenberg ’18; Rabbi Julie Roth ’95, Rabbi at Shomrei Emunah; Cantor Laureate Sarah Sager ’70, Cantor at Anshe Chesed Fairmount Temple
