Requesting a Mentor for our Rabbi

Welcome to our RA's Ometz Mentoring program. Use this form to share information about your rabbi so that we can find an appropriate mentor for them. Once we've made the connection between mentor and mentee, we will ask both to commit to specific times (barring rabbinic emergencies) for calls. As an organization/synagogue requesting this for your rabbi, we expect you to take this relationship, the program, its goals and outcomes seriously. 


Please note: this form is NOT confidential. We will share this information with your rabbi so that we can best help in the mentoring process. If you need to convey confidential information, please email Rabbi Ilana Garber to request an appointment.

Rabbi Information
Mentors are available to support rabbis in a variety of professional and personal ways. Please check all areas in which you are seeking guidance for your rabbi:

As you describe the objectives, please share if you have discussed these with your rabbi already (and any feedback received), as well as any specifics we might be able to convey to your rabbi (ie instead of “work on sermons” you might say, “your Friday night teachings are always helpful and to the point; we’d like your Shabbat morning sermons to be a bit shorter and to include practical life lessons”)
