\nNo liberal rabbi had been ordained in France for 53 years. Iris Ferreira and \u00c9tienne Kerber were ordained rabbis on July 4 in Paris.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At 29, Iris Ferreira became, Sunday July 4, the first female rabbi to be ordained in France, within liberal Judaism. She will officiate at the Liberal Jewish Union of Strasbourg (UJLS). She has become the fifth female rabbi in office in France, after Pauline Bebe, Delphine Horvilleur, Floriane Chinsky and Dani\u00e8le Touati, who had all been ordained abroad.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Etienne Kerber, 36, has also been ordained a rabbi. They received “semikha”, the transfer of authority from one rabbi to another, from rabbis Tom Cohen and Pauline Bebe, in their respective communities of Kehilat Gesher and the Liberal Jewish Community at the Maayan center in Paris.<\/p>\n

It was a historic moment for French Judaism.<\/p>\n
