The future of the Jewish community is threatened by a shortage of clergy, with not enough people choosing to become rabbis and too few rabbis choosing to serve congregations. We all have a role in addressing this pipeline problem.
Thanks for your heartfelt appeal. I'm sure there will be quite a few inspired listeners who will be considering being rabbis after what you have said. You truely have had a blessed life being a rabbi.
I knew a rabbi who sexually abused children were his students and his son is a cantor who refuses to believe the father is a pedophile. The rabbis are just as bad as the Catholic priests even though the rabbis have no celibate vows.
Us Catholics have same problem. It’s disheartening that so many older parishioners relie to often and too heavily on our priests for silly stuff. The poor guys get overwhelmed. Hey it takes 12-15 years to be priest and then they get overwhelmed with adoring old ladies who offer up their plumbing problems.
