Rabbi lashes Jewish feminists
sanction any changes," he said.
Rabbi Schochet denounced re-
forms such as counting women for
the minyan or calling women to
the Torah as "not only a denial of
Jewish tradition but a perversion
of common sense." He went on to
say: "The modern Jezebels that
we criticize are women like Blu
Greenberg and Norma Joseph. In
their writing and talks they pre-
sent themselves as members of
the Orthodox tradition while
simultaneously denying the au-
thenticity and authority of
halachah ."
The dictionary definition of
"Jezebel," the wife of Ahab, is a
woman "notorious for profligacy,
fanaticism and cruelty." Rabbi
Schochet provided local newspap-
ers with notes from his address.
Greenberg, author of On
Women and Judaism — a View
from Tradition said in a telephone
interview that halachah is not
etched in stone as the rabbi im-
plied. "To say that halachah was
developed throughout the last
three-and-a-half millenia and
Jewish tradition developed
throughout three-and-a-half mil-
lenia is not at all to diminish the
force of centrality and revelation
of divinity."
If Rabbi Schochet regards
feminism as a contaminating
foreign body he is a poor
philosopher, she said, adding, "I

define myself as an Orthodox Jew
because I observe halachah and
am part of this community. There
is a halachic process and what I
perceive to be the criteria is to
bring women more equally into
it."
Joseph said the rabbi's use of
her name was "humiliating and it
is scandalous for him to say at a
public forum that I don't care
about Jewish law . . . I don't deny
halachah at all but I feel bound by
it. I care deeply about being a Jew
and the Jewish community. I'm
not a 'Jezebel.' "
Rabbi Elyse Goldstein, assis-
tant rabbi at Toronto's Reform
Holy Blossom Temple, said Rabbi
Schochet's sermon title offended
her as a woman, a rabbi and a
Jew.

Toronto (JTA) — An attack •
from the pulpit on Jewish
feminists as "Jezebels" given to
"self-worship" as "opposed to wor-
ship of God" has raised a storm of
protest in the Jewish community
and brought strong rejoinders
from two prominent Orthodox
women who are feminists.
The two, Blu Greenberg of
Riverdale, N.Y., who has written
extensively on Jewish religious
matters, and Norma Joseph, who
teaches at a Montreal university,
were named by Rabbi Immanuel
Schochet in a speech to some 300
persons at Shaarei Tefila
Synagogue here earlier this
month.
Rabbi Schochet, who is Or-
thodox with leanings toward
Chasidism and teaches philos-
ophy at a community college, ti-
tled his address: "Jezebel as Rabbi
— Deforming Religion by
Feminist Reforms." It was an at-
tack on demands by women to
participate fully in Jewish reli-
gious ritual in the synagogue and
the ordination of women as rab-
bis.
According to Rabbi Schochet,
halachah (religious law) specifi-
cally excludes female participa-
tion in certain functions. "If
women do not like this, they
should take up their case with
God directly and demand and
await a new revelation which will
