Gladstein Fellowship

The Gladstein Fellowship is a program operated by the Jewish Theological Seminary allowing selected students of the seminary to serve in the capacity of rabbi of a selected congregation.

Congregations selected by JTS to benefit from the Gladstein Fellowship program are offered three Gladstein fellows each for a two-year period for a total of six years with the option of hiring any of the fellows to a permanent position. Gladstein fellows normally visit the congregations for which they are selected monthly, are available to congregants by phone and email at other times, and receive a stipend in exchange for their services.[1]

History

The Gladstein Fellowship program was founded by Ned and Jane Gladstein in 2003. The first congregation to benefit from the program was Loudon Jewish Congregation in Leesburg, Virginia.[2]
