The Rabbinate

[justice36]

I have a meeting with my Rabbi next week to discuss the possibility of going to Rabbinical school. He says I would be "an awesome Rabbi." That's good news. But, have I gone nuts?

No, it would be cool! Did you hear they have a new (another) rabbi at BU? Rabbi Heller? He is kind of goofy, slightly frat-boy-esque, based on his Yom Kippur speech. But basically if he could be a rabbi, you could be a rabbi :-P

[justice36]

Yes, I've met him. I was there on Rosh Hashanah. He is definitely goofy. I'm not really so fond of BU Hillel employing two Orthodox Rabbis. But that's BU Hillel for you. I'm glad you don't think it's a bad idea.

I was actually sitting at Yom Kippur services thinking maybe when I'm middle-aged I should try rabbinical school.

[justice36]

Yeah? Awesome! Why middle age?

[lucidsnapdragon]

Because I couldn't do it now. There are like 3 other careers I want to try first ;-)

[justice36]

ah i see. what flavour rabbi?

[lucidsnapdragon]

Oh, reform. I was raised reform, and I wouldn't know how to be anything else.

[justice36]

I fully expect to get bored with my career and start over a couple times.
