Becoming a Better Rabbi, Teacher, and Leader

What is the rabbi's Manual?

As much as one can be trained, at the end of the day, most of rabbinic work is learned on the job. That is why The Rabbi’s Manual was created. A blog on how to become a better rabbi, teacher, and leader.

Hi, I’m Jeremy and it is my goal to help you learn new skills, be more effective, and better than you were yesterday.

I hope that you will learn something new and become more impactful than you thought possible, in person, online, and everywhere you choose to be.

Over the last few years of my rabbinate, I realized how much I have learned on the job and how valuable those lessons were. I wanted to find a way to share what I’ve learned and help other rabbis do the same.

That is why this blog exists:

To record my journey and help you on yours.
