One Way to Help Solve the Rabbi Shortage Crisis: Invest in Untapped JOC Talent

The Jewish community faces a growing rabbi shortage, but a potential solution lies in untapped Jewish talent from Jews of Colour (JOC).

By investing in JOC talent, Jewish institutions can address this gap while also fostering a more inclusive and representative clergy.

The article argues that JOCs bring unique perspectives and life experiences that could enrich the rabbinical profession. It emphasizes the need to create opportunities and mentorship programs to develop JOC leaders and help them succeed in the rabbinical field.

This approach not only addresses the rabbi shortage but also works toward a more diverse, inclusive future for Jewish leadership.
