Traditions, Innovations,
and Visions AJR accepts exceptional students, without regard to race, age, gender or sexual orientation, who commit themselves to the highest ideals of devotion to God, Torah and Israel. We afford our students the freedom to explore, experiment and struggle with their personal sense of Jewish life and with their own role in the larger Jewish community. A solid grounding in the vast richness of our multi-voiced tradition provides our students with the foundations for developing their own creative and inclusive visions that are destined to have a deep impact on the Jewish community. Our seminary's openness to many views and our appreciation that the Jewish community is thirsting for innovation and vision makes AJR a uniquely exciting environment for nurturing our students and for challenging them to grow to become the spiritual leaders they want to be.
