Message From the Dean

For three thousand years the Jewish people have been engaged in a dialogue with God. This conversation has yielded an ornate tapestry of ideals and practices, texts and customs.

At JTS, we immerse ourselves in this profound culture not only from love of tradition, but also from the urgent desire to discover the path to holiness in our day.

We train leaders who are rooted in the past, conversant with the present, and have a vision for the Jewish future.

At JTS, the Torah truly is a tree of life.

— Rabbi Daniel Nevins, Pearl Resnick Dean of The Rabbinical School and dean of the Division of Religious Leadership
