The curriculum of Jewish Spiritual Leaders' Institute requires students to present a one hour Lunch and Learn to the school. They pick topics that they have an expertise in and present them through a Jewish lens. Some topics over the years have included: Accounting for the Clergy; sessions on Jewish Communities around the World; Gossip; Ethics of the Fathers, and Kosher Butchers. Rabbi Steve Blane believes in preparing clergy in a pragmatic and professional way. Each student needs to create a Powerpoint or Keynote and provides the presentation online.
