Morateynu Alissa Thomas-Newborn, L.A.’s first congregational Orthodox female “rabbi”
Morateynu Alissa is the first Orthodox woman to serve as a clergy member in Los Angeles. She serves with Rabbi Yosef Kanefsky at Congregation B’nai David-Judea Congregation. She was ordained from the Yeshivat Maharat, Orthodox women's rabbinical school. Although she uses the title "Morateynu", our teacher, she is working in her synagogue as a full spiritual leader. She will explain the restrictions placed on women that she respects and will also share her trailblazing leadership in the Modern Orthodox world.
