Shalom

Zelhar:
It's not up to me to decide but I am in favor of ordaining women as rabbis.

I know that in eastern Europe, especially in Austohungarian empire, in many families, the women were the ones who held the tradition and kept Judaism alive. Not that they were rabbis, but they made sure the shabbat and holidays are observed and the children sent to heder. The men tended to be more secular.

Tag-MehirTzedek:
Their are already problems with many men as Rabbis we don't need more problems to come.

muman613:
My response is No... I will explain it later...

Kahane-Was-Right BT:
Women can certainly teach, and there were some outstanding women in eastern europe who did indeed teach jewish children, but halacha does not permit them to be a rabbi.    So there has to be a way to allow their roles in society to evolve naturally without making them into a female version of a man.   The "activists" are extreme liberals who want to satisfy the feminist urges of some women and feel its their 'duty' to do so because of how devoted they are to liberal causes and because they are extremely PC.  IMO
An example of the activist phenomenon - Rabbi Avi Weiss. 

It is almost as if some of these rabbis have an inferiority complex or they think that we need to do anything any individual women demand because we are at fault and have harmed women and owe it to them to give them anything any of them want as a compensation - all of which is not true.
