Feb 5, 2007 -- 糖心破解版 Center for the Jewish Future has developed what is believed to be the first formal program at any rabbinical school in America designed to give rabbis鈥 wives the opportunity to meet with professionals to discuss issues of self, family, and community in a safe and supportive environment. The 2nd Annual 鈥淩ebbetzins Yarchei Kallah鈥 program will take place from February 12-14 at Congregation Keter Torah in Teaneck, NJ.
Rabbis鈥 wives face an increasingly complex series of opportunities and challenges in the 21st century. Many seek their own identities while striving to assist their husbands and fill the traditional role of a rabbi鈥檚 wife. Until recently, there wasn鈥檛 a 鈥渞oad map鈥 that addresses their evolving role and provides them with guidance on how to navigate family and professional responsibilities.
鈥淐ontemporary Orthodox Jews, from rabbis and rabbis鈥 wives to lay leaders and community members, are sophisticated, intelligent and rooted professionally and culturally in the secular world while living traditional Jewish lives,鈥 said Rabbi Dr. Jacob J. Schacter, the internationally prominent rabbi who serves as Senior Scholar of the Center for the Jewish Future and is directing this initiative. 鈥淲e must ensure that they have the tools and guidance necessary to lead these lives creatively and intellectually, now and in the future.鈥
