Ten young children sit around a table as Lila Kagedan walks into their synagogue's after-school program. Paper plates filled with art supplies are waiting for them to tear into.
Kagedan introduces herself as the new rabbi at their synagogue. Not one of the elementary-school-aged children seems surprised.
But her announcement is surprising -- historic, even: Kagedan, of Mount Freedom Jewish Center, is the first woman to have the title of rabbi serving an Orthodox congregation.

Well that is certainly interesting. Not at all like "Orthodox" Muslims.
