It depends on what you mean by "minister" and it also depends on which congregation you attend. If you see my post above this one about a female rosh kehillah, it will take you to an article about a recent decision by a Jewish congregation that has just appointed the first female congregational leader. Other Orthodox Jewish congregations do not allow this for the most part, with rare exceptions made for female-only prayer services. Other streams of Judaism, however, do allow women rabbis and leaders of services, and in those, the women lead every part of the service the way a man would. Hope that answers your questions :)
