Another step in according equality in synagogal affairs to Jewish women was made by the United Synagogue of Great Britain, an organization of Orthodox synagogues.

The decision was taken after a heated and acrimonious debate. It was decided by a small majority that women pew holders have the right to vote in synagogal affairs.
