On this episode of the Chandler Chat, host Harriette Chandler speaks with Rabbi Aviva Fellman of Congregation Beth Israel at 15 Jamesbury Drive in Worcester. They reflect on her 13-year tenure here in Worcester, how she became the first female Rabbi in the temple's 100+ year history (founded in 1924), and discuss how the practice of women leading Jewish services is a very new one first adopted in the 20th century.
