The Rabbinical School

 

The Rabbinical School of The Jewish Theological Seminary 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.

We invite you to be a part of the tradition and leadership of The Rabbinical School. Learn more about The Rabbinical School's dynamic and inspirational experience through our new online video.

Applications are past due—however we often grant generous deadline extensions to promising candidates. Contact our director of Admissions, Rabbi Mordecai Schwartz for more details.

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, The Rabbinical School

JTS students are available to assist your community in leading synagogue services and teaching/tutoring. Contact the Rabbinical Student Placement Service for more information.
