Apparently, as anyone who has attended a synagogue service within the past couple of years can readily attest, the presence on the bimah of a female rabbi and a female cantor has become commonplace.
Having an uncle who was a cantor with, what is best described as, a fantastic operatic voice, I long to her the fat lady sing in Shul – but, sadly, there are no Shuls in my rural Maine community.
Still. We should give credit for this evolution to those who truly deserve it – the Hassidim … the ultra-orthodox Jewish sect who have denounced the Biblical male line of descent and substituted one which is solely controlled by the female.
As anyone who has read the Book of Genesis knows, Hebrew lineage is father to son – not mother to daughter. It is impossible to derive a Hebrew ancestry via a female line from Eve – but that is exactly what the Hassidim preach and practice. For them “Moma Know, Father May Be” seems the controlling rule. Face it, they are unsure of who the father of a child is, and so cannot say the child is Jewish … for them, a non-Jewish father is the same as a Jewish one … so long as the mother is Jewish, the kid is. Which, sadly, raises the question as to whether or not any identified as Hassidim are, in reality, Jewish at all.
But! As I stated, the Hassidim have given us female Rabbis and Cantors – since, in accordance with their core beliefs, only the female who emerged from a Jewish female can truly be be said to be Jewish – all the rest must certainly be goyim … even the males who are in the line of direct descent from Aaron (as established by DNA and the CMH).
Hey, if you don’t know if your own father is really your father, even the male founders of the Religion, and the ones with whom the covenant or Laws were established, must be rejected.
