Rabbis are ordained. They must be knowledgeable in Torah-laws and observances, since part of their function is to answer questions in these matters.

As concerns disputed ordination, every movement in Judaism ordains separately and oftentimes the ordination given by one movement is invalid other movements, especially as concerns the divide between Torah Judaism and Liberal Judaism. However, the process of ordination can only be rescinded on account of grievous acts or excommunication.
