Turning it Upside Down (Tzav)

I’ve been wondering how to go forward with my weekly blogs and podcasts, focusing only on Torah, which is so male-oriented, as a female rabbi coming into my own. Am I continuing the sexism? On Purim, we are commanded to turn everything on its head. Thinking about the 50th anniversary of the first ordained American female rabbi, plus this week’s parsha, made me wonder about my role and how to stretch to the next level. But it’s true of the world as well. It’s being stretched, as we all are. This week, I seek to answer the question of how to have patience with the slow pace of change for the good.
