VM: That’s actually very logical in some ways.
Think about it:
-We already know a LOT about Judaism. We’d probably have to learn some Gemara and more Halacha, but we’d be starting from a higher place.
-Services are Sunday- we could be home for a regular family Shabbos and then just go to work Sunday.
-Pretty good money. (Probably less now that it’s dying a bit, but still.)
-For the rest of the week, a flexible schedule- we could even get other jobs.
My grandfather says that we should all do exactly that and become Reform rabbis to support husbands in kollel.
I got a mailing from JTS from Student Search Service- maybe I shouldn’t have thrown it out… (Conservative probably works the same way, no?)
Alternatively, I can become popa’s BFF and be a rabbah. My halacha teacher already suspects that I want to become one.
