Our Deborah Steiner Rabbinic Interns
The Steiner Mentorship Program, dedicated in memory of Debbie Steiner, has provided the OJC with extraordinary opportunities to shape the future of Conservative rabbinic leadership. We have been truly fortunate to have exceptional Rabbinic interns spend nine months most years with our congregation. On this page, we look back, with fondness and gratitude, on their contributions to the OJC, and provide an update on where our former interns serve our Klal Yisrael today.
