that in a seller’s market, Jewish
bidders for personnel are coming
out second best and will almost
certainly continue to be in that un
happy bind for an indefinite time
The problem of the rabbinate
has one difference. The Jewish
graduate of a school of social work,
pleasantly beset by a minimum of
ten job offers on graduation day,
can choose a government or non
sectarian agency rather than a
Jewish one. A rabbi has no such
choice, but Jewish young men do
have a different kind of choice
and they are choosing to stay out
of rabbinical careers. Hence the
number of unfilled Jewish pulpits
is as aggravating and as escalating
as is the number of unfilled jobs
in Jewish service agencies and
Jewish schools.
The statistics make gloomy read
ing for those who understand that
building a Jewish Center to pro
vide for a new community will
fail to meet the anticipated needs
if the necessary staff personnel
simply are not available, or that a
Jewish school cannot be better
than its teachers and supervisors,
or that a new synagogue with a
student rabbi - or no rabbi at all
— means that real and urgent
Jewish spiritual needs will not be
met or, at best, met at a crippled
level.
In the Jewish communal field,
there are 2,200 full-time profes

States. As of mid -1964, I here were
