JLIC: The OU Program That Introduced a New Vision of Orthodox Women's Leadership, by Todd Berman, published on The Lehrhaus, covers the Orthodox Union's Jewish Learning Initiative on Campus program and its introduction of women into campus religious leadership roles. Berman is a rabbi and a regular Lehrhaus contributor writing on contemporary Orthodox Jewish topics. Its strength is that The Lehrhaus is editorially reviewed commentary from a recognized venue for contemporary Jewish thought rather than an unreviewed blog. Its limit, already recorded on this row's own reliability tier note, is that it is editorially reviewed commentary rather than peer reviewed academic scholarship.

Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Editorially reviewed commentary in an established online journal of contemporary Jewish thought, not a peer-reviewed academic work; placed one tier below a scholarly reference source. NotesThe Lehrhaus is an editorially reviewed online journal of contemporary Jewish thought, contributed to by rabbis, academics and communal professionals. This piece is independent commentary, not sponsored by the Orthodox Union, the organization whose program it describes, which is why it is used here as the primary account of the Jewish Learning Initiative on Campus's 2000 formalization rather than the Orthodox Union's own sponsored retelling of the same history, published separately by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, which corroborates the date and the paid, formally titled structure but carries a direct institutional interest in the account.
