What is the role of the rabbi in the community?
Reconstructionist rabbis function as community leaders, teachers, counselors and authorities. However, while the rabbi bears these as well as other functions, the rabbi is not the sole authority in a congregation’s decision-making life. While the rabbi may be the leader, decision making is a collaborative effort. It is, however, the rabbi’s role as an authority to infuse the decision making process and its substance with Jewish values.
