Answer:

Sally Jane Priesand

Step-by-step explanation:

Sally Jane Priesand became America's first female rabbi. She was ordained by a rabbinical seminary in Cincinnati on June 3, 1972. Sally became the second formally ordained female rabbi after Regina Jonas in the entire Jewish history as well as the first to be ordained in United States.

Sally's historic appointment as rabbi reflects blend of "equality of women" and "modernity" in Judaism.
