The recruitment for the fourth cohort of Barkai is underway.  Cohort 4 will, with God's help, begin its studies in Elul-September 2018.  The Barkai office receives many applications each day from the many community rabbis across Israel who desire to be accepted to the unique training program whose reputation is well known.  Many of the applicants have  already come to Modiin for interviews and it appears that Cohort 4, like its predecessors will be full of quality, wide ranging rabbis.  There are still a few spots remaining. So if you are a community rabbi or you know a fitting community rabbi please be in contact immediately with the Barkai office.

The Barkai Center for Practical Rabbinics aims to improve the fabric of Israeli society by intensively training Israeli rabbis in all aspects of communal rabbinics so that they can lead their communities to a more meaningful connection with Judaism and act as a unifying force in Israeli society.
