Some notes regarding my recent cleanup on this page:

I have edited POV language that was heavily aimed at framing the entire article through the view of Orthodox and Haredi Judaism.
Presently, the historical antecedents for women in the rabbinate have been included, highlighting historical examples of women as rabbis.
I have added the available stats of the number of women rabbis, split by Reform, Conservative, Orthodox Judaism
I have also adjusted the order of the paragraphs to align with the 1970s to present history of women in contemporary Judaism. This means the order of listing denominational developments follows the order in which the denomination first ordained a woman rabbi (Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox).
The Orthodox section reflects 3 key points:
- There are Orthodox women rabbis associated with a few new institutions
- The major Orthodox rabbinic organisations do not accept their ordination
- Other Orthodox institutions have opted for alternate clerical roles (e.g. Yoetzet)
Finally, the name of the page has been renamed from "Women Rabbis" to "Women rabbis and torah scholars" to circumvent the narrow issue of "ordination" and incorporate the Orthodox approach of allowing alternate roles for women that do not specifically require ordination.
