The CCAR is excited to present the 2024–2025 Rabbinic Education, Support, and Wellness program guide to our members. Wherever and however you serve, our program provides diverse and in-depth opportunities to strengthen our rabbinates, our personal lives, and our connections to each other. Our program includes opportunities for deep learning with leading scholars, connecting with Israel, responding to urgent social justice issues, and enhancing our skills in areas such as pastoral care, transition management, supervision, and fundraising.
In recognition of the importance of ongoing learning and growth, all CCAR members are required to complete five hours of Continuing Rabbinic Education. This FAQ provides additional information about this requirement. As part of our Continuing Education Requirement, each member of the CCAR is asked annually to read the CCAR Code of Ethics. You were given the opportunity to indicate that you read the Code when you submitted your 2024‒2025 dues form. If you did NOT indicate on your dues form that you read the code, please take a few minutes to read the Ethics Code and indicate that you have done so via our CCAR Code of Ethics Requirement form.
