Is that really your answer?
First off, if you ask Hurwitz, Weiss, or anyone else at HIR, if Rabba was a title that denoted clergy, they’d say yes. Second, Weiss himself said that Rabba is the female equivalent of Rabbi. Third, when he gave her the title of Rabba, Weiss himself said “This will make it clear to everyone that Sara Hurwitz is a full member of our rabbinic staff, a rabbi with the additional quality of a distinct woman’s voice.”
So please, explain to me why the title Rabba doesn’t violate the OU’s stance.
