Program
PARA RABBI PROGRAM OF ESYNAGOGUE.ORG
Overview and Mission
This program is designed to train lay leaders to serve as assistants to rabbis or assist communities lacking sufficient rabbinical coverage, to help them support the spiritual life of their congregations and communities.
The Esynagogue.com Para-Rabbinic program is designed to teach lay leaders a variety of skills to help them support communal worship, life-cycle events and educational opportunities. Participants in our program may use these skills in various ways—by serving a congregation that has no clergy; by working in an assisted living facility or adult community; or by assisting their congregational clergy.
Prerequisite Knowledge
Students must demonstrate a minimum Jewish knowledge base equivalent to that provided by the Esynagogue.com Introduction to Judaism program. Ability to read Hebrew proficiently is required.
The Role of the Para-rabbi
Para-rabbis are trained to conduct life cycle events including funerals, unveilings and baby namings, but are not qualified to do weddings or conversions. Para-rabbis are qualified to conduct Shabbat morning minyans, assist in Shiva minyans, conduct Torah study, and conduct services at nursing homes and assisted living centers in the community. Others may do more in their communities because their synagogues either lack a full-time rabbi or have part-time student rabbis.
CERTIFICATION
The goal of this program is to teach necessary skills required by Jewish Community. A certificate that the student has acquired the skills listed below will be issued.
COST of the program
$950 plus $100 books and materials
Length
The program is self-paced. Take as long as you wish
Tools of Instruction
Esynagogue.org has developed a unique set of over 550 videos, dvds, cds. These along with a digital siddur, printed Rabbis Manual and other digital materials will be used.
The developer of the program has specific resources and materials culled from over 27 years experience as a Congregational rabbi
