Is Orthodox Judaism on the verge of a historic schism?

I think we have gotten off track. This thread is about Judaism.

That is your opinion, but it is not the opinion of the local Catholic priest here who in his sermons has supported women priests.

That priest is wrong and not listening to the Pope. His opinion counts for nothing and will NOT change the teachings of the Catholic Church. He needs our prayers, God Bless, Memaw

AFAIK, Father Sullivan says that the decision must be obeyed, but denies its infallibility.

Fr. Sullivan is wrong. Prayers, God Bless, Memaw

The rabbinical establishment, even among the Orthodox, has never been entirely uniform in its views on a variety of Jewish issues. Women rabbis is certainly a contentious one, but not likely to be acceptable by the vast majority of Orthodox rabbis within the various streams of Orthodoxy, including Modern, Traditional, Hasidic Haredi, and non-Hasidic Haredi. I doubt whether this one issue will generate a “historic schism,” however. That schism has already taken place with the advent of several other movements within Judaism: Reform, Conservative, Reconstructionist, and so on. My own preference is to keep Orthodox Judaism as Orthodox, but not because I believe it to be the only morally acceptable form of Judaism; rather, because I think we need a standard of reference against which to compare and evaluate our deviations.

Yes, it did touch upon the question of whether or not Orthodox Judaism would change the restriction against women rabbis. But this issue has come up in other religions also.
