ORTHODOX rabbis within Australia and New Zealand have come together to establish a new organisation to help educate members to face the challenges of the modern rabbinate, develop a code of conduct which all members must adhere to and to represent them more efficiently and effectively to the broader community.
The Rabbinic Council of Australia and New Zealand (RCANZ) was formed last week when more than 50 rabbis from across the continent gathered in Melbourne.
Working with state-based rabbinic councils, lay leadership bodies, and professional organisations including the staff at the Sir Zelman Cowan Centre, where the conference was held, the RCANZ also aims to provide continuing professional development for members.
