8 hours ago comment added magicker72 If your answer is that the modern-day ordination (from yeshivot all over the world today) is the continuation of an old practice, then that (with some proof/explanation) would be an answer.
8 hours ago comment added Y DJ @magicker72 wasn't such ordination practiced all the time? I.e. unless confirmed a person could not occupy any rabbinic community position?
9 hours ago comment added magicker72 I presume it's the latter "ordination" that the OP is asking about.
