Ok, it isn't quite as dramatic as that. She isn't dead. But the Dean of the Schechter Institute of Jewish Studies in Israel has 'resigned' after falling student rolls have been attributed by many to be a direct result of her implacable opposition to education of homosexual students for the Rabbinate.

You may remember a recent decision by Conservative Judaism to endorse and ordain gay rabbis. Part of the ordination process is education, and gay students were unable to complete their studies in Israel under the stewardship of Einat Ramon.

It seems that she was, instead, unable to complete her employment under the new rules.

There are no age checks on this forum. If the law says you need (eg) parental consent to post here then you need that consent.
Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
