It has been a while since I last posted. This isn’t because the “spirit” wheels in my head haven’t been turning. On the contrary. It’s just because mundane life details have been in my way lately. They still are, so this is going to be a short one.
It is written in the course catalogue for the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College that “rabbinical students need to cultivate and internalize a rabbinic identity.”
This will be my project over the next week. Start internalizing, see how it fits. You see, I’m applying for the Prospective Students’ Institute at RRC, and they ask for a 2- to 4-page essay exploring my interest in and potential contribution to the rabbinate. These things are not something I’ve fully vocalized as of yet. This essay is going to be supremely challenging.
