The Disappearing Modern Orthodox Rebbitzen

Luke Ford writes: I discuss the weekly Torah portion with Rabbi Rabbs Mondays at 7:00 pm PST on the Rabbi Rabbs cam and on YouTube. Facebook Fan Page.

This week we study Parashat Shofetim (Deuteronomy 16:18-21:9).

Luke Ford has noticed that most shuls want a two-for-one deal when they hire a rabbi. They want the spouse to go to work too for the good of the synagogue. In the modern world, many a rabbi spouse wants his/her own life and career.
