The First Fifty Years

"The ordination of Rabbi Sally J. Priesand in 1972 was a watershed moment in Jewish history. In The First Fifty Years, contributors from across the Jewish and gender spectrums reflect on the meaning of this moment and the ensuing decades, both personally and for the Jewish community. In short pieces of new prose, authors -- many of them pioneering rabbis -- share stories, insights, analysis, and celebrations of women in the rabbinate."--Provided by publisher.
