An attempt to re-define the role of the rabbi in Jewish life will be made at the two-day national convention of the Rabbinical Alliance of America, which opened here today.
Among the topics to be discussed by the orthodox rabbinical group will be the rabbi’s role in the organized Jewish community, rabbi-educator relationships and participation by the spiritual leader in “the religious mold of Israel. The agenda includes plans for American orthodox rabbinical seminaries to arrange a year’s study program for their students in a yeshiva in Israel.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
