not to me. And what meaning those traditions have without G-d? Igor, why did you break a glass at your wedding? Light the candles on Hanuka? Did brit for your sons?

Glass in the wedding - tradition, as a memory of ruined Temple
Light candles - tradition, that came from what Jews believed to be a miracle
Brit - tradition, hygienic

Where is the God here?
Presence of God in these books is not a mandatory, not nice-to-have condition.

BTW, why you are against rabbinic woman? Considering current religious institutions, woman-with-a-kipa cannot worsen the situation.

Beit Mikdash only matters because it a your link to G-d;
Hanuka, as well as the existence of the state of Israel, is a miracle where meatim nizhu rabim;
and brit is only done because G-d told Avraham to do it.

it is a tradition only because it is first a religious observance, didn't we already have a simular conversation here?

About women in judaism - as you may have noticed, I wear pants and do not cover my hair. But at no point in time I claimed that to be jewdaism. Rav usially works in a pair with his wife, who is a rabanit; they deal with different aspects of live as a team. What really rubbed me wrong is the book about mixed marriage. That is just plain wrong.
