For information 

Admission

  • Candidates for the JSLI should be committed to a life of personal spiritual development and service to humanity. 
  • As ongoing spiritual work is seen as an integral part of the program of study, completion of JSLI's curriculum is understood to be a beginning, not an end of lifetime study.
  • Candidates should be supportive of Interfaith marriage.
  • Regular attendance at synagogue worship services is expected- as is occasional attendance at non-Jewish houses of worship as a greater understanding of the modern world's faiths is intrinsic to your development as a modern spiritual leader.

We offer rolling admissions so you can begin to study as soon as you become admitted to the JSLI. You must fulfill the following requirements:

1) You must demonstrate the sincere desire and necessary attitude, aptitude and skill sets to become a rabbi.

2) Complete an in-person or Skype interview with the Dean

3) Provide three letters of recommendation supporting your request for admission to JSLI with the goal of becoming a Rabbi & Spiritual Leader.
