The Sacred Calling: Study and Discussion Guide

The Sacred Calling: Four Decades of Women in the Rabbinate was published in 2016 to commemorate the fortieth  Women anniversary of women in the rabbinate. No longer are women rabbis a unique phenomenon, rather they are part of the fabric of Jewish life. In this pioneering anthology, rabbis and scholars from across the Jewish world reflect back on the historic significance of women in the rabbinate and explore issues related to both the professional and personal lives of female rabbis. This collection examines the ways in which the reality of women in the rabbinate has impacted all aspects of Jewish life, including congregational culture, liturgical development, life cycle ritual, the Jewish healing movement, spirituality, theology, and more.

This study guide, compiled by Rabbi Andrue Kahn, presents discussion questions, organized either by study tracks or by chapter, which can be used to enhance community learning sessions.
