Women rabbis ordained by Conservative movement in New York
The Conservative branch of Judaism approved ordaining women rabbis by a 34-8 vote in New York City. This shifts most U S Jewish groups toward granting rabbinic titles to qualified women, while Orthodoxy remains opposed. Reform ordained the first woman in 1972 and Reconstructionists in 1974, with 61 and 13 women rabbis ordained respectively. About half of candidates at Reform and Reconstructionist seminaries are women.
