A Rabbi Named Blu?

Here's an interesting new piece by Jonathan Mark called A Rabbi Named Sue. The comments are interesting too. See if you can find the crucial typo in one of the comments.

One of the guests at the Pesach retreat I ran is a non observant artist (which reminds me that I facilitated a Q and A at the end of Pesach and the topic turned largely to labels and definitions and what really matters in essence). She told me that she saw a PBS special that had a part about women becoming Orthodox rabbis. She then saw the woman in question live and was all excited, but was upset that she was not given the title of rabbi. As she was telling me the story another woman who goes to the Shul in question said she was at the ceremony where the young woman was given her title. She tried to explain things to the artist.

From the rest of his comment I don't think Steve Brizelmeant to write "...one can argue that the overwhelming majority of Modern Orthdox Jews view R Weiss and what happens either in YCT or HIR as either relevant or correct."
