Appoints, as a rabbi (7)

I believe the answer is:

ordains

(Other definitions for ordains that I've seen before include "Appoints to a clerical post" , "Consecrates" , "Invests with priestly authority" , "frocks" , "Decrees and admits to holy orders" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
