It is my pleasure to share with you the voices of the Schusterman Rabbinical Fellows, students who are training to be future leaders of the Jewish community!
The Schusterman Rabbinical Fellowship is a program for a select group of outstanding rabbinical students (eight per cohort) from Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion (Reform) and the Jewish Theological Seminary (Conservative.) The program is designed to create a cadre of Reform and Conservative rabbis who share a broad and dynamic vision of communal leadership for American Jewry.
The SR Fellows study leadership, collaboration techniques, and key issues in American Jewry, learning from faculty at HUC-JIR, JTS, and outside experts. Through semi-annual gatherings, monthly conference calls or webinars, and informal exchanges, the SR Fellows examine management methods, define personal visions for their rabbinate, and cultivate strategies for drawing Jews who often feel marginal—including those in interfaith relationships and those not affiliated with any Jewish congregation—closer to the heart of the Jewish community.
The Schusterman Rabbinical Fellowship Program is funded by the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation. The Center for Leadership Initiatives, Inc. (CLI), a private operating foundation dedicated to developing Jewish leaders and promoting managerial excellence throughout the Jewish community, has helped shape the program.
We look forward to sharing our views about Torah and the American Jewish community with you!
L'shalom,
Rabbi Ellen Flax
Director, Schusterman Rabbinical Fellowship Program
