This week we are featuring another woman from our Trailblazer exhibit, Rabbi Jody Cohen. Rabbi Cohen was the first female rabbi hired in the state of Connecticut, as an assistant Rabbi at Congregation Beth Israel in 1984. Needing to find childcare for her five-month-old son, under the guidance of Rabbi Silver she established Noah's Ark at the synagogue, the first Jewish daycare in North America for children six weeks to five years old. She is also an LGBTQ+ advocate, and hosted the first AIDS interfaith healing service at Temple Beth Hillel. You can find more information on Rabbi Jody Cohen at www.cwhf.org/inductees/jody-cohen ...
