Precedent: a woman in a senior position in the rabbinical courts

Also a woman, also secular - the new spirit has been felt in the corridors of the Chief Rabbinate: for the first time a woman was appointed to a senior position in the rabbinical courts. This was reported this morning (Wednesday) in the newspaper Israel Hayom. Yael Sheshinski - Yirmiyahu, 31, from Modiin will serve as Director of Public Inquiries at the courts.

"I was very happy that I came in my pants for an interview, and it did not affect the decision whether to accept me," she told Israel Hayom. "I am secular and traditional; mainly I'm glad there was no discrimination in the way. I came to the Tenders Committee in pants, I was not trying to conceal information and I'm glad to see that the state is conducted properly and according to the laws, contrary to all the stories about cheating or tailor-made tenders."

Most of the women working in the institution serve as secretaries of department managers. Lashinsky – Yirmiyahu's appointment is making history that a woman will fulfill a senior role. It does not bother her: "I did not check how many men and how many women there are, but in no case would I feel inferior."

Director of Public Inquiries will be responsible for improving work processes and outputs. It will check the references and formulate provisions and procedures.

Vice president of the Rabbinical Courts, Shmuel Yosef, said: "We must continue to provide professional services and should be sensitive to issues reaching the desk of the Court. We congratulate Yael on receiving the job. I am confident that she will perform for the best. "
