I dont know if Onkelos was a Rabbi or had Semicha….
December 21, 2012 2:50 pm at 2:50 pm #1151553rebdonielMemberThe Aruch haShulchan (CM 7:1) says that if a ger’s father is Jewish, than he is considered eligible to serve as a dayan in a case involving born Jews.

May 6, 2016 5:08 pm at 5:08 pm #1151556mw13ParticipantI believe both the Aruch HaShulchan and the Igros Moshe hold li’maaseh like this Rambam.

Bingo.

May 8, 2016 3:57 pm at 3:57 pm #1151559writersoulMemberThere are other reasons given for a woman not being able to be a rabbi, but I can’t remember whether they’re entirely disconnected from this or based on it…

May 10, 2016 12:04 am at 12:04 am #1151561dovrosenbaumParticipantI don’t think the position of a shul rabbi, a mehanech, etc. counts as serarah.
A ger probably shouldn’t become a dayan, though, as he can’t judge born Jews, and a ger also cannot sit on a beis din for geirus.
May 10, 2016 12:50 am at 12:50 am #1151562mw13ParticipantR’ Moshe writes that a woman being a Mashgiach for a kashrus organization is a problem of serarah, unless she only acts as the eyes of the Mashgiach and does not enforce the rules herself (and even then, it’s possible that that would only be good enough in the bedieved case R’ Moshe was dealing with). It’s hard for me to see how being a Rabbi or Rebbi should be any better.
May 11, 2016 4:55 pm at 4:55 pm #1151563oomisParticipantIt’s interesting that women are totally in charge of the kashrus of their homes and Taharas HaMishpacha, but are not favored to routinely be mashgichos.
May 11, 2016 6:30 pm at 6:30 pm #1151564Sam2Participantmw13: That is an ironic reversal of the point of R’ Moshe’s position.
