From character to calling: Finding future rabbis before they find themselves
Rabbi Daniel S. Ross, Director of Alumni Engagement
To prevent the rabbinic pipeline from drying up, we have a communal imperative to be on the lookout for the rabbis hiding in plain sight, says Rabbi Ross in his latest op-ed for eJewishPhilanthropy. Reflecting on his own journey Ross highlights six common “rabbinic personae” and calls on communities to actively identify and encourage those who exhibit these traits, emphasizing that early recognition and mentorship are key to cultivating the next generation of rabbis.
