KOL ISHAH: THE RABBI IS A WOMAN opens a window into the world of four diverse women rabbis, women whose spiritual calling has led them on a path traditionally taken by men.

“Kol Ishah” means “woman’s voice” in Hebrew. The documentary shows how the rich and complex nature of Judaism enables these four women rabbis to adapt religious texts and passages to reflect their particular experience, and to be able to embrace - and be embraced by – their communities.
