A Finding Aid to theCincinnati, Ohio - Greater Cincinnati Board of Rabbis RecordsManuscript Collection No. 6651989
Institutional SketchFollowing World War II, a few congregational and HUC-JIR rabbis met to form the Greater Cincinnati Board of Rabbis. Their goal was to "stress the primacy of religion in the personal and communal life of a Jew." The Board also strives to provide leadership for the Jewish community and strengthen and dignify the status of being a rabbi in Cincinnati. The Board meets monthly from September-June and elects a new board every year at an end-of-the-year Kallah. At the Kallah, outside speakers are brought in to educate the members on a variety of topics. The Greater Cincinnati Board of Rabbis frequently speaks out on local, national and international social issues. They are a member of the Hunger Task Force and actively involved with the Metropolitan Area Religious Coalition of Cincinnati.
