Abstract (may include machine translation)

"Diversities"—this was the title of the Fourth Bet Debora Conference for female rabbis, cantors, academics and activists, held in Budapest by the EszterTáska Foundation between 23-27 August 2006. The Bet Debora Initiative Group was founded by Lara Dämmig and Elisa Klapheck in Berlin in 1998. Both women are academics and Reform Jews; they are rightly regarded as the founders of their country's Reform community. Klapheck, who studied to be a rabbi, is the author of a biographical work about Regina Jonas, the first female rabbi. Dämmig wrote a book about the life of Bertha Falkenberg, president of the Berlin chapter of the Jewish Women's League. Held every two years, the Bet Debora Conference received a new venue in Budapest when EszterTáska Foundation agreed to organise the fourth conference. The success of the event was due to the joint efforts of Judit Gazsi, Andrea Pető and Zsuzsanna Toronyi—all members of the EszterTáska Foundation.
