Lists of Women Everywhere
At Divrei Chaim there is a post discussing some of the orthodox rabbinical discussions about women in leadership roles. This comes not so long after the Forward Sisterhood blog published the Sisterhood 50 of “America’s Influential Women Rabbis.” Today I just saw another list of influential women, but of a somewhat different nature. In the Nashim supplement to the Israeli newspaper Makor Rishon, there is a list of the twenty most influential women in the national-religious sector. There are a number of successful doctors, lawyers, politicians, activists, and media personalities on the list, in addition to those women whose influence is in the realms of religious leadership, Talmud Torah, and scholarship.
