Assistant Rabbi Search Committee
Update of the Week
 This week we reviewed applications from eight previously-ordained candidates. We then interviewed two of them via Skype, and invited a third to have a Skype interview soon. This coming week, the committee chair, the rabbi, and two committee members will be going to NYC to interview 14 to-be-ordained candidates at JTS on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The next full committee meeting is in the process of being scheduled for the 26th-ish of February, at which we hope to decide which candidates to invite to visit our community in March.
