Toanot Rabbaniyot, or Toanot (Hebrew: טוענות רבניות, "Women Rabbinical Advocates"), refer to women who serve as legal advocates and representatives within the traditional Jewish courts of law. Toanot typically argue cases on behalf of female claimants in the areas of divorce law. This role is well-established in the Israeli rabbinical court system. The introduction of the role of woman representative and advocate was the result of instances when women would not receive fair divorce settlements in Israeli rabbinical courts. The innovation of Toanot is described as allowing Orthodox women to serve in a rabbinical leadership role that does not require rabbinical ordination.
