Can both genders be a rabbi?
Men can be Rabbis in all forms of Judaism. In Liberal Judaism (Conservative, Reform, Reconstructionist, etc.), women can also be Rabbis. There is currently a few practicing female clergy in Orthodox Judaism, but they are not considered Rabbis since it is forbidden for women to be Rabbis in Orthodox Judaism.
Can a Jewish woman be a Rabbi?
-- The modern Reform and Reconstructionist Jewish movements ordain female rabbis. -- The Conservative Jewish movement began to ordain women within the past 20 years. -- Orthodox Judaism has never ordained women.
Can woman read from the Torah?
The answer to this question depends upon which branch of Judaism you belong to. The Reform branch not only allows woman to read from the Torah, it even has female rabbis. Whereas the Orthodox branch does not allow such things. In Orthodox or Hassidic Judaism, it is only the men who study Torah. This issue is examined in the movie "Yentl" starring Barbra Streisand. I recommend it.
Is a rabbi always a man?

What does judaism call the person who leads worship servise?
Any male 13 years old or older (Orthodox) or any male 13 years old or female 12 years old or older (all other Jewish groups) can lead religious services in Judaism. This being said, in more organised formats, the leadership of religious services in Judaism is a joint effort between rabbis and cantors.
What is the Jewish view on same-sex marriage?
The Torah doesn't address the issue explicitly, but it does explicitly forbid sexual intercourse between two males (Leviticus 18:22). In speaking of marriage, the Torah endorses the paradigm of male-female marriage (Genesis 2:22-24).
Are there chaplains in the Girl Scouts and are they required to be female?
