This year in Los Angeles, the Reform Movement\’s Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Region ordained 16 new rabbis. The Conservative Movement\’s Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies ordained 10. And the Academy for Jewish Religion, California (AJR, CA) ordained 11. Never heard of the AJR, CA? You\’re not alone. Just six years old, it remains unknown to many in the Jewish community, though its impact is growing rapidly.
