The goal of The Rabbinical School of JTS is to challenge students to develop the spiritual, intellectual, professional, and ethical qualities necessary for them to function as the religious leaders of the Jewish people. The Rabbinical School offers a five-year program of study, personal growth, and spiritual development that leads to rabbinic ordination and a career of service to the Jewish community. Our graduates work in a host of fields, including congregational life, hospital or military chaplaincy, campus and Hillel leadership, education, camping, scholarship, and Jewish communal service.
