Redefining Rebbetzin

We met in college, through Hillel, and happened to both marry men who have decided to become Rabbis. Although other professions might have stereotypes associated with the wives (doctor’s wives, politician’s wives), rabbi’s wives are the only ones blessed with their own term: Rebbetzin. Over the years, it has come to mean a lot of different things, but we hope to bring a fresh perspective. Our hope is to bring both stories from our lives, including the journey of our husbands becoming a rabbinical students, our own Jewish journeys as they develop, as well as our thoughts, feelings and opinions on a variety of topics in Jewish life, especially issues surrounding feminism/women’s issues and Judaism. We also plan to bring articles of interest, as well as an occasional guest post to bring in more perspectives.
