When it comes to women's leadership in the Jewish world, headlines are often focused on new forms of ritual involvement and professional titles.  This session will focus on models of leadership in communities where female Rabbis or new rituals (such as "partnership minyanim") are not part of the discussion.  We will explore questions on the emergence of alternate leadership roles in these communities and the ways in which they have developed, been sustained and continue to progress.  As a model, we will look to one particular community - the Syrian Jewish community - to better understand these issues and questions.
