Rabbinical School

The Rabbinical Program leads to ordination as Rav uMoreh/Morah b’Yisrael (Rabbi and Teacher in Israel). Its goal is to assist a student in developing the Jewish learning and professional skills to serve and lead the contemporary Jewish community as well as to help weave its moral fiber. The Academy, with its diverse faculty derived from all branches of Judaism, is uniquely prepared to assist a student to understand the multi-faceted nature and traditions of Judaism. A rabbi is frequently called upon to lead religious services alone ‘ to serve as a kol bo. Our program ensures that our graduates have the competence to serve in a wide variety of settings. Music is the soul of Jewish liturgy and all our rabbinical students gain from studying alongside cantorial students.
