First humanistic female Rabbi in Canada
Eva Goldfinger, a longtime spiritual leader at Oraynu Congregation for Humanistic Judaism, is now Rabbi Eva Goldfinger, the first Humanistic rabbi in Canada.
Rabbi Goldfinger’s involvement in the movement is a dramatic departure from her upbringing in a haredi community in Toronto. A graduate of Bais Yaakov High School for Girls who was raised in a chassidic family, she became a feminist as a young teenager, expanding her knowledge of the outside world by reading with a flashlight under her covers at night.
In the late 1980s, Rabbi Goldfinger was ordained as a madrichah (leader) of the movement, in part as a step toward becoming an officiant at marriage ceremonies, including intermarriages and same-sex weddings.
Rabbi Goldfinger is incidentally not particular about making Rebbeshe Shidduchem.

what does it mean to be a "Rabbi" of a cult that does not believe in anything other than what makes them feel good?
