| Are you a rabbi looking for an inspiring learning opportunity with a pluralistic group of rabbinic colleagues and some of the top thinkers in the Jewish world?
Applications are now being accepted from rabbis looking to reinvigorate themselves and their rabbinates by joining the fifth cohort of the Rabbinic Leadership Initiative (RLI). The new cohort will begin study in July 2013.

The Rabbinic Leadership Initiative, which has been described by many rabbis as a transformative experience, immerses an elite cadre of North American rabbis in the highest levels of Jewish learning, equipping them to meet contemporary challenges with ever-increasing intellectual and moral sophistication.
RLI offers in-depth study, designed to map out the central ideas of Jewish tradition in the fields of ethics, faith, spirituality, and politics. At the same time, RLI imparts skills that are essential to enhancing synagogue and community life.
