A Black Woman Rabbi Walks Into A Bar Mitzvah...

It sounds like a set-up to a joke, but a 45-year-old African-American woman will the first, well, African-American woman to be ordained as a rabbi. The ceremony will be in Cincinnati, after which she'll take a job leading Congregation Bayt Shalom in Greenville, North Carolina. She'll clean her own house but be very generous with the hand-me-down oversized eyeglasses and gold sparkly sandals she gives herself.
