The role of the clergy
A draft (September 2015)
One of the most discussed issues in the last millennium of Jewish history has been the role of the Rabbi.
Of course, even other religions' clergy are not exempt from this discussion. But I suspect that nowhere is the debate as emotional as in Judaism. And furthermore, I cannot have an opinion about the role of clergy in Christianity or in Islam, and one thing I have tried to avoid in this blog is to express opinions about things I know nothing about.
What is the role of the Rabbi in what's called "Shul politics"?
