The Rabbinical School of Hebrew College is a pioneering and thriving venture in pluralistic rabbinic education. Our mission is to prepare rabbis to serve an increasingly diverse Jewish community with wisdom, sensitivity and skill. At the heart of the program is our:
- Innovative curriculum balancing classical Jewish learning and cultivation of spiritual and personal growth in both the classroom and the Bet Midrash;
- Vibrant community of students and teachers with which to learn, pray, celebrate and grow;
- Dedicated and talented faculty who are devoted to educating rabbis and helping to shape the Jewish future; and
- Professional training in organizational leadership, education, tefilah and pastoral care that cultivates essential rabbinic skills for different entry points to Jewish life.
Our graduates serve as congregational rabbis in affiliated and independent congregations, Hillel rabbis and executive directors, hospital chaplains, educators, and organizational innovators in institutions across the country.
