Rabbi, Your Cleavage is Showing - Paperback

With wit, candor, and unflinching honesty, Rabbi, Your Cleavage is Showing traces the extraordinary journey of Rabbi Michal (Mikki) Mendelsohn-the second woman ordained by the Reform rabbinate. From a lonely childhood in Manhattan to the battlefields of the Sinai, from the pulpit to law school, Mendelsohn's life defies every expectation of what a "nice Jewish girl" was supposed to be.

Told through vivid storytelling and sharp humor, Mendelsohn's memoir explores faith, feminism, and the price of independence in a world that often resisted her at every turn. Whether navigating sexism in sacred spaces, confronting personal trauma, or finding love and belonging in unexpected places, Mendelsohn reveals a life of resilience, reinvention, and courage.

At once deeply personal and profoundly universal, Rabbi, Your Cleavage is Showing is the story of a woman who refused to be defined by others-and became a rabbi on her own terms.
