Avi Weiss

We can do it in our communities.

You know, when Rabbi Riskin put his hands not really on the head of, uh, Rabbanit Shira Murvis, and, uh, uh, when she, he, she cho- he in the community chose her to lead community, and without touching her, or when Rav Avi Weiss made it to me, it's makes you to feel that you're ˈmusmechet.

You've gi- you've got the spirit, the, in the traditional way.

So we'll bring the documents, and they will give us the one document that include everything.

There's certainly many rabbis who still don't, don't understand why women should study Talmud, but the cat's out of the bag.

And this is arguably the greatest religious revolution of our times because it has opened up the main edifice of rabbinic civilization to more than half the population and its impact on the evolution of Judaism moving forward and the connection between Jewish groups, whether it be through the Maharat group in New York that Avi Weiss started, or whether through the Lindemann Institute or Migdal Oz or all, or another thing that there are-- there's something called Women Halakhic Advisors regarding family purity and family Halakha issues, Jewish law.

This is grounds up.

It came from the grassroots, but it's being acknowledged by people who might have not been proactive in it and, uh, people who are quite committed, and I think that that i- is something, as a historian, that's important.

So even though I was clearly ensconced within the modern Orthodox world, my, my rabbi was Yitz Greenberg as a kid.

The Greenbergs were good friends.

Avi Weiss.

So it wasn't sort of a doctrine of orthodoxy.
