This is all very nice - and yet I am finding myself one week after the conference still being bothered by certain things, which some rabbis said on sunday (on the panel about the future of Masorti). For example I couldn't believe my ears, that a prominent rabbi would suggest that, in a world of growing fundamentalism, non-egalitarian minyanim could be the future of Masorti. To which I would have loved a woman standing up and say: "I too believe, that in a world of growing feminism, non-egalitarian minyanim are the future. Women are taking leadership roles everywhere, they dislike being ruled by old men with black hats. To attract young women, I would therefore strongly suggest to inaugurate only women as rabbis for the time being. Also we don't really need male participation in our services. Men are welcome to sit on the side and watch - as long as they don't distract us. Should this be boring, they may go out and discuss football." Would this be a silly or even offensive statement? Then why is it ok the other way around, especially in a non-orthodox denomination?
