Defining Expectations for Rabbinic Leadership

As part of a wide-ranging study of Jewish religious leadership conducted at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York under the direction of the Seminary's former provost, Professor Jack Wertheimer, a team of three social scientists surveyed both congregational rabbis and their lay leaders in Conservative synagogues as to their rating of rabbinic roles. Their research was spurred by a desire to clarify how both congregational rabbis and their lay leaders defined their expectations for rabbinic leadership, and whether those expectations resemble or differ from one another.
