"There was some support for one and some support for the other candidate. … There didn't seem to be a consensus that was really behind one candidate," Cuenin, who served on both committees, said.
The spring search was very similar to faculty searches, Eddy explained, involving faculty more intensely, including notable professors from the NEJS department, she said.
In an e-mail to the Justice, Schloss wrote that "the consensus was that in order to hire the absolute best fit for the Jewish chaplain at Brandeis the search had to continue."
Bechtolsheim also declined to discuss the specific candidates. "I've heard frustrations expressed by students that we have gone so long without a rabbi, but I'm also pleased that the search we're doing is very deliberate so that we get the best rabbi," he said
Lehmann left Brandeis after seven years to become associate dean of the rabbinical school at Hebrew College in Newton, Mass.
"I would hope to have sufficient time [to hire the new chaplain] by [Jan. 1]," Eddy said.
