We are affiliated with The Jewish Reconstructionist Movement but the candidate does not need to be a graduate of RRC.  Instead the candidate must :

·        Judaism should be inclusive: people with Jewish fathers and non-Jewish mothers are accepted as fully Jewish, non-Jews are welcomed as major participants in community life, intermarriage is permitted, women have full rights, people of any sexual orientation are accorded equal rights

·        The State of Israel is vital to Jewish cultural and spiritual survival

Must be able to Chant and Read Torah, read Prayers in Hebrew and lead Torah Study. The rabbi has the flexibility to add readings, meditations, and alternative versions of prayers to the spoken liturgy.
