Are any of you modern women thinking maybe conservative Judaism is for your? Check out this story.
The ultra-orthodox publication Di Tzeitung took the famous photo of President Obama, Secretary of State Clinton, and their advisors, and erased Secretary Clinton and another woman from the photo! They claim that modesty prevents them from publishing pictures of women.
But wait ... isn't that censorship? Isn't that revising history? There were two women in the room. What sort of paper alters the facts when reporting a story? Oh, wait ... this is religion. I forgot, they alter facts all the time!
The people who publish that paper are ultra-Orthodox, not Conservative. Conservative Judaism is a specific denomination, traditional but moderate. They have female rabbis and mixed-gender seating in their synagogues.
