NEW RESOURCE FOR HIRING CLERGY

A joint Task Force of the International Institute for Secular Humanistic Judaism, Society for Humanistic Judaism, Association of Humanistic Rabbis and the Congress of Secular Jewish Organizations collaborated to create a document to help communities determine the need for and the appropriate steps to take to hire a rabbi or ceremonial leader (Madrikh[a] Vegvayser).

Special thanks to Rabbi Denise Handlarski who chaired the committee and Michael Prival who created a linkable PDF.  Please click here.
