Chief Rabbinate Opens Certification Exams to Women Following High Court Ruling

Chief Rabbinate Opens Certification Exams to Women Following High Court Ruling

The Chief Rabbinate in Israel has opened registration for its rabbinical certification exams to women for the first time. This decision follows a series of High Court of Justice rulings that deemed the exclusion of women from these exams as unlawful discrimination. The High Court's unanimous decision in July, authored by Deputy Chief Justice Noam Sohlberg, emphasized that the exams are not merely religious rites but have significant civil implications, particularly in employment and salary structures tied to state recognition. The Rabbinate had previously attempted to limit women's access to certain subject areas, but these efforts were rejected by the court. Registration for the exams is now open, with the first session scheduled after Passover.
