NEW YORK, Jan. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Jewish Spiritual Leaders' Institute - JSLI - ordains 21st class of Rabbis. The class of eight hail from all over North America including from California, Hawaii, Maryland, Florida, New York, and Canada. JSLI prides itself on making study for Jewish clergy relevant and accessible to Jewish professionals who bring a wealth of knowledge and skills to their studies..
JSLI focuses on training Rabbis in the practical issues that face the Rabbinate. The intention is to serve the unaffiliated, interfaith and disenfranchised Jews of today. Each student brings their own unique perspective and life experience to the school which adds to the richness of the program and students remain connected to each other and others in the school long after graduation.
Rabbi Steve Blane developed the school to train people who wanted to be Jewish clergy but unable to attend a 5 year program. The school has always been online, even before COVID, which has allowed more accessible opportunities for learning.
