A question about Judeaism, Woman, and Rabbis.

[Dinner]

I'm currently watch Grey's Anatomy and in the episode a young Orthodoxed Jewish girl needs to have one of her heart valves replaced but a cadaver valve couldn't be had so the only option was to use a valve from a pig. Naturally, an Orthodoxed Jewish person wouldn't like that option. Eventually they try an experimental procedure using a valve from a cow but that isn't what this post is about.

Before the surgery the girl wants to pray with a rabbi so the Doctors bring one in. But here is the part I'm most interested in... The Rabbi is a woman. I don't know there were female rabbis much less ones which would be acceptable to a supposedly Orthodoxed Jewish family. Can someone tell me if this is correct or if Hollywood just pulled a fast one?

I do believe LotM said there were female Rabbi's. He hasn't been seen in OT in a bit though.

Your searchfu is weak.

Searchfu? Mine might be weak, too. I didn't know about them.

The internets are scary places to poke around though.

I always seem to end up on porn.

You didn't make thread asking if they exist.

Is there a lot of Orthodox Jewish porn?

Not that I've seen. I'll keep an eye out for it though and let you know.

Particularly if it is of a female Rabbi.

No wonder I don't know about them. My handy dandy XoftSpySE gets them out if they're there.

Why search on my own when I can get someone else to do it for me?

Besides poly needs the new threads. I'm getting tired of refreshing the browser and finding no new posts much less new threads.

As long as there's not meat and milk being served at the same time.

So a possible answer would be that the female "rabbi" they called was not actually a rabbi and was instead a yoatzot halachah? A female advocate with some rabbinical training who is supposed to help other woman with religious tasks but who cannot be ordained as a rabbi.

I suppose that would work though they did specifically say they wanted a rabbi on the show. I just thought it was funny that they made a big stink about being devoutly Orthodoxed then accepted a female rabbi.

On a television show, of all things.

I agree. I'm on a 2 thread a day quota.

Too bad no one wants to talk about my most serious of topics.
