Good For Her

With gender and race based glass ceilings being broken left and right in the last 40 years, it's not often that you hear of a "first" occurring these days but there's still a few remaining.

From ABC News...
Growing up in a black, Pentecostal family in Cleveland, Alysa Stanton never imagined the day when she would be preparing to be ordained as a rabbi.

But that day will come June 6 for the single mother who will be ordained by the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati, becoming the first African-American female rabbi in the world.
