Founded in 2010, the Jewish Spiritual Leaders Institute (JSLI) ordains liberal rabbis to meet the needs of the millions of unaffiliated Jews as well as interfaith families. JSLI graduated its first class of rabbis in August 2011.[1]
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 movement of Judaism and advances the philosophy of Jewish Universalism, holding that all paths ultimately lead to 'the 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.[2]
JSLI and its graduates have been noteworthy within the Jewish community for their unique contribution to Jewish leadership and learning.[3]
