Salon No.5 on the Jewish Channel

As the Jewish Channel reports:

The woman at the center of the controversy over ordaining women as Orthodox rabbis, Rabba Sara Hurwitz, joins the conversation at The Salon, sharing her perspective on the Rabbinical Council of America’s “2010 Convention Resolution: Women’s Communal Roles in Orthodox Jewish Life.”

Also on hand are author Judith Shulevitz, whose recent book “The Sabbath World” takes a historical and cultural look at the concept of the Sabbath, and President & CEO of the Foundation for Jewish Culture Elise Bernhardt, one of the few women at the helm of a major Jewish organization.

Moderated by Forward editor Jane Eisner, with Mediate.com Editor At Large Rachel Sklar, this episode’s discussion digs into the significance of the Sabbath in contemporary Jewish life, Bar & Bat Mitzvah wars, the RCA resolution and, regarding the recent controversy over a Lane Bryant commercial for a plus-sized line of lingerie, our panel considers whether full-figured but not fully-clothed women belong on a prime time television commercial.
