New York Jewish seminary will allow gays, lesbians
Manch:
NEW YORK - A Conservative Jewish seminary in New York has agreed to admit gays and lesbians who want to become rabbis, but declined to take a stand on whether rabbis should officiate at same-sex unions.
The Jewish Theological Seminary announced its decision on Monday, more than three months after the Rabbinical Assembly's Committee on Jewish Law and Standards authorized the ordination of gays and lesbians.[/size]
What is a Jewish seminary?
Manch:
Is it the same thing as Yeshiva for orthodox?
Thank you!
New Yorker:
"..admit gays and lesbians who want to become rabbis"
Wow, that is ludacris, the whole concept contradicts itself. For one thing women can't be rabbis, secondly it is spelled out that being gay is a sin. So neither of these groups of people can possibly become rabbis, the lesbians twice over!
jdl4ever:
All of those Jews who said "conservative is not as bad as reform" now see that they are wrong. We knew it all along.
New Yorker:
Well my family is Sepharadic Conservative, and our temple would never stand for such a thing. ::)
