What happens after the fellow is ordained

After ordination from JTS, Gladstein Rabbinic Fellows apply for a position through the Joint Placement Commission. If the new rabbi’s emerged kehillah can afford to hire a full-time rabbi, and if the kehillah and the Fellow come to an agreement in accordance with the Placement Commission’s regulations, then the Fellow may serve as that congregation’s rabbi. Otherwise, the Fellow must work with the Placement Commission to be placed at another kehillah. The Fellow will serve there for at least three years.
