Cheryl, another reason might be that "hommes de parole" means
"men whose words are important"..."hommes" might mean "human beings" but
also " men only"....
I now checked the web site, didn't see any clarification about that but
i had thought about it before, wanted to share as i saw yr question.

Well Cheryl, in Islam and Orthodox Judaism, women ae not serving as Rabbis
or Imams. In Judaism, you can find women serving as Rabbis only in the
Reform movement, which are in deep controversy with the Orthodox. As the
Orthodox, by far, are the most prominant movement in Israel and are
leading this main stream in the world, allthough it is an international
conference, it was important to the issue to bring them. So, the other
movements are invited, but in a very low key. It is a delicate,complex and
painfull issue.
Anyhow there are other women there, in other roles

Shalom all,
regarding the event in Seville, which is bringing together rabbis and
imams, i was looking at the website (Hommes de Parole -
http://www.hommesdeparole.com/) and noticed that this appears to be an
initiative for men only. where are the female rabbis and their voices? i
was wondering if anyone could help me understand...
thanks,
