PDE 450 Senior Seminar
Senior Seminar will expose students to a wide spectrum of the most significant practical aspects of the rabbinate as they begin their final stage of metamorphosis: the blessings and conflicts of the active rabbinate, the tensions of leadership, authenticity and scholarship in the workplace and the need to maintain focus, integrity and dignity. Moving beyond mythology, student perceptions and anecdote, we shall explore the personal covenants that have brought us to this stage of our lives. Students will have the opportunity to dialogue with specialists in areas of concern to new rabbis, as well as leaders of the Reform movement.
