Exciting New Project to Bring US and Israeli Pulpit Rabbis and their Communities Together

In conjunction with the Rabbinical Council of America (RCA) the Barkai Center will launch a new rabbinic exchange program. Ten American pulpit rabbis will come for a conference together with 10 select Barkai rabbis and to be placed in individual Barkai communitiesfor shabbat as scholars in residence. In the spring the Israeli hosts will travel to the communities of their American counterparts as well as attend the annual conference of the RCA in New York. The goal is for the rabbis to learn from each other and to teach communities that they may not otherwise have access to.
