Women Rabbis are female spiritual leaders in the Jewish community who perform many of the same roles as their male counterparts. They lead prayers, teach religious texts, and provide guidance to their congregations. The ordination of women as rabbis began in the late 20th century, with the first woman, Sally Priesand, being ordained in 1972. Since then, the number of women rabbis has grown significantly across various Jewish denominations, including Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox movements. Women rabbis contribute to the evolving landscape of Judaism, bringing diverse perspectives and experiences to their leadership roles.
