I wrote some daring things here, - so I might add another one.
Here in Israel, and perhaps elsewhere too, - women and perhaps men too of some branch of Judaism, whatever it’s called, - believe in the idea of having women rabbis.
- It may be doubtful whether Judaism could be called a religion at all, - rejecting Christ. Quite foolishly people who believe themselves to be men of faith do not think the matter of whether Jesus is the messiah or not - as a matter of fact, - should be cleared. They just think Jews would be Jews and Christians would be Christians as if this is not an actual thing which ought to be true or untrue. I related to that somewhat in this post. - But here this is not the matter about which I am writing.
- However, putting aside the question of the room of Judaism as a religion rejecting the main figure related to it, (as Jesus is clearly more important than Abraham or Moses or Elijah) the issue here is about the idea of a woman rabbi.
Obviously the attitude reflected is rooted in some idea of equality, but it seems to reflect absence of wisdom. Not very surprising if we initially consider this is some branch where those advanced in their own view imagine they could shape their religion as they like according to secular ideas. - In Hindu or in Buddhism such an idea, - of a woman taking the place of a shephered of believers, is acceptable. Whatever the reason. - In Western religions, - Christianity, Islam and Judaism, - this is not the situation. - A woman can’t take the place as a man could after a mere qualification as the common standard is.
- It is not absolutely impossible for a woman to take leadership in the relevant field, - but it is not at all the same as it is for a man, - as ignorant or foolish reconstructors of religion would imagine in their materialistic views. - If a woman has attained to the level of a saint, which means the thinking of the heart of such a person has completed its developement, - than she could lead others in the field of spirit in the relevant communities. Not to speak of course if she is a prophet. But as for lower forms of guidance, - the reality in the fields of religion and spirit is not the same as in the secular world and its institutions. So far.
