Rabbi Gilah Dror has accomplished
a great deal throughout her years in the rabbinate.
She received her ordination as well as her master's
degree from the Jewish Theological Seminary in 1990,
and has since left her mark worldwide. The current
spiritual leader of Rodef Sholom Temple in Hampton,
Virginia, Rabbi Dror also served for ten years at Eshel
Avraham in Beer Sheva, Israel. While in Israel, she
championed the Conservative Movement by setting up
the first alternative cemetery in Israel in 1999.
As the president of the Rabbinical
Assembly of Israel, Rabbi Dror was the first woman
to lead a rabbinical organization, and through her
work with the Va'ad Halakha of the RA in Israel she
has published a number of teshuvot on issues ranging
from the ordination of women as rabbis to the donation
of bodies to medical science.
