Rabbinical and Cantorial Interns
Every year CBST selects one or two rabbinical students as Cooperberg-Rittmaster Rabbinical Interns, one or two as Social Justice Rabbinical Interns, and one as a cantorial intern from a large pool of highly qualified candidates.

The Cooperberg-Rittmaster Rabbinical Internship Program was established in 1994 by a gift by William Fern (renewed in 2000) in honor of fellow long-time CBST members and gay activists Irving Cooperberg z”l and Louis Rittmaster.
