Empower the Future of Rabbinic Leadership: Support the Rabbinic Training Academy!

Embark on a groundbreaking journey with the Rabbinic Training Academy and join us in reshaping the trajectory of rabbinic leadership. Traditionally confined to the study of kosher laws, today's rabbis need more than theoretical knowledge; they need practical wisdom to guide communities through the complexities of the modern world. Our academy is the catalyst for a much-needed paradigm shift, cultivating leaders who are not only rooted in tradition but equipped with the skills to address contemporary challenges.

Join Us in Cultivating Compassionate Leaders

Rabbi Shaul Rosenblatt created and runs the Rabbinic Training Academy, an innovative program that mentors newly qualified rabbis through the first eighteen months of their first jobs. The mornings consist of a high-quality learning program to segue between the structure of a Kollel and the independence of learning on your own. The afternoons are used to guide them through a new world with its many modern challenges, to enable them to further understand and be of service to the many types of struggles community members can be going through.

They visit various sites like a psych ward, hospice, prisons, AA groups, courts, and various Jewish and non-Jewish organizations throughout the UK. They also get to hear personal experiences from live panels such as people who have attempted suicide, intermarried couples, drug addicts, LGBTQ in the Jewish community, divorced individuals, victims of abuse, converts, and previously frum individuals who shared their experience of why they left the fold and how Rabbis can be more helpful. The Rebbetzins have their own uniquely tailored program of classes and seminars as well and are encouraged to join site visits and panels.
