[Avodah] Firing a Rabbi

[Richard Wolberg]

Halacha says that you cannot fire a rabbi.
There is a very important distinction which needs to be made.
Firing a rabbi implies terminating a contract prior to its conclusion.
However, I would take issue with contending that halacha says 
you have to renew a rabbi's contract. If that were the case, then once 
a rabbi is hired by a shul, he automatically has a life time tenure.
To reiterate -- not renewing a rabbi's contract is NOT firing him.
