Oops. Missed that. We have 3 women rabbis. Lately it seems men don't apply. (Conservative) I wonder what the graduation ratio is, do you know?

Oops. Missed that. We have 3 women rabbis. Lately it seems men don't apply. (Conservative) I wonder what the graduation ratio is, do you know? Other than the numbers I presented, no, there's no statistics on the actual graduation rate versus how many actually find jobs. I can tell you that the American Rabbinic Congress has 1,600 members, so the number of women currently working as rabbis does represent a decent percentage of the total number. Keep in mind that not all rabbis are what you would call "pulpit" rabbis; that is, leading a congregation. A significant number work in education as Hebrew school teachers.

2 pulpit women rabbis, 1 school rabbi. Par for the course, I think. Basically, a new rabbi has to pretty much wait until a congregation loses a rabbi to moving, death or retirement. It's very, very rare to hear of a rabbi losing their position for other reasons, such a criminal activity. Not that rabbis don't commit criminal acts, only that they don't seem to get caught. I looked at crime reports from my old neighborhood, which is now mostly Jewish and has a large contingent of Hasidic Jews as well. I did find a couple of rabbis on the sex offender listing. Interesting.

They control the two rabbi schools very carefully. Drives the market value up.

DF is doing well. His battery pack that runs his IV has caused him problems the last two nights but I took cold meds and slept thru it! I'm sick and broke down and went to doctor today. I've got something viral.

They control the two rabbi schools very carefully. Drives the market value up. The issue with the expense is that unlike Catholic parishes, which can have several churches, schools and other money-generating operations, a synagogue is a stand-alone entity. No money comes from a council, association or other nationwide organization. A synagogue makes money through school fees, membership fees, donations and High Holy Day ticket sales. Maintenance isn't cheap, and while rabbis don't do badly in terms of salary, their congregation does not provide them with any parish-like perks, such as a place to live. And in the case of Conservative and Orthodox groups, because of the no driving on the Sabbath rule, they have to find a place to live that's walking distance from the shul.

Well, the other rabbi called DF and not me. . Well, whatever. Still waiting to hear from DS to see if he wants to come.

Zib, I don't post very often but I am a long time (read: years ) lurker. I have been following your story for quite some time and I just wanted to add my very best wishes to all the others: I pray that you and your DF are blessed with a long and happy marriage!

Good to hear your DF is doing better - and I love the engraving you had done on his wedding band. Very touching & meaningful.
Wishing him ( and you from your viral infection) a speedy recovery and both of you a long and happy life together.
