Craig,
I'm not promoting female ordination (not ONCE have I even mentioned it), nor have I made any indications that I am taking the position of, or claim to be an expert on 'orthodox Judaism,' so please don't continue to write as if I had made such claims. You're playing the straw-man game. Why do you do that?
If you want to address my position, let me spell it out clearly:
1) women in authoritative positions over men is not without precedent in the Tanakh, REGARDLESS of what the New Testament says.
2) different communities had different practices, and there was no across-the-board uniform standard regarding the role of women imposed upon every community.
Shlama,
Rob
