Registration for Interview Week 2019

Registration for Interview Week 2019 in Los Angeles, CA

Welcome to Senior Interview Week! It is a great pleasure to present the graduating seniors of the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies and the Jewish Theological Seminary to you. Interview Week provides a professional atmosphere in which senior students and affiliated congregations and institutions can meet to enter into a special bond. Please accept our appreciation for your participation in Interview Week.

Over the years, we have found that synagogues aim to complete their search before Pesach. While the schedule of dates does support that goal, it is also important to know that it is not uncommon for a search to take longer. We tell you this to help you plan, but also to help alleviate some of the anxiety that might persist around timing.

Questionnaires and job descriptions must be uploaded, and Student Interview Week registration must be completed by Wednesday, January 23rd at 5 PM ET.

Interviews for congregations seeking to hire graduates from the rabbinical school of the Jewish Theological Seminary and the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies will take place Monday, February 11th at 9:00 AM through Thursday, February 14th at 1 PM (PT). We are excited the announce that this year all interviews will occur at the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies, located at 15600 Mulholland Dr., Bel-Air, CA 90077. All interviews will take place regardless of weather conditions.

Interviews are scheduled to begin at 9 AM every day and are set to run 50 minutes each, with a 10 minute break in between sessions. Search committees will receive an email no later than January 31st with a proposed schedule for their interviews. Resumes of the candidates will be available starting on Monday, January 28.

If you have any questions, please be in touch with Emily Hendel (ehendel@rabbinicalassembly.org) or with Rabbi Elliot Salo Schoenberg (eschoenberg@rabbinicalassembly.org or @RabbiElliot #InterviewWeek2019).
