The First Fifty Years: A Jubilee in Prose and Poetry Honoring Women Rabbis

Hosted By: CCAR Press

The 1972 ordination of Rabbi Sally J. Priesand was a watershed moment in Jewish history. “The First Fifty Years: A Jubilee in Prose and Poetry Honoring Women Rabbis,” new from CCAR Press, features authors—many of them pioneering rabbis—who share stories, insights, analysis, and celebrations of women in the rabbinate. These are intertwined with a wealth of poetry that captures the spirit of this anniversary.
