Alumni: Tell us About Your Rabbinate
Rabbi As…
We have created a web page called “Rabbi As….” where we highlight the multiplicity of roles that Hebrew College rabbis hold. We want to feature all the incredible work our alumni does which goes far beyond what people may assume a rabbi spends their days doing—with the hope to help potential rabbis imagine what might be possible for themselves, if they choose to pursue this path.
Our goal is to include all Hebrew College rabbinical alumni on this page and invite you to participate.
