Founded in 2010, the '''Jewish Spiritual Leaders Institute''' (JSLI) ordains [[rabbis]] to meet the needs of the millions of unaffiliated [[Jews]] as well as [[Jewish intermarriage|interfaith]] families. JSLI graduated its first class of rabbis in August 2011.<ref name="jsli.net">http://www.jsli.net/</ref>

The seminary conducts its classes via the [[Internet]] through interactive, [[videoconferencing]] sessions, over the course of the one year term of the program. JSLI does not belong to any particular [[Jewish movements|movement of Judaism]] and advances the philosophy of [[Universalism#Jewish|Jewish Universalism]], holding that all paths ultimately lead to 'the [[HaShem|One]].' JSLI's Dean and Founder is Rabbi Steven Blane, who also leads the in-person and online [[Havurah]] Sim Shalom in [[New York City]], [[U.S.A.]]<ref name="jsli.net"/>
