Yes
No
It's debated
Orthodox institutions don't ordain
Answer
No, Abby is not the first man to have been ordained by an Orthodox Jewish institution. In fact, no man has ever been ordained by an Orthodox Jewish institution, as Orthodox Judaism does not allow for the ordination of women. The first woman to be ordained by an Orthodox Jewish institution was Rabbi Sandy Eisenberg Sasso, who was ordained in 2009 by the Jewish Renewal movement.
