Inauguration of Chancellor Shuly Rubin Schwartz
On May 17, 2022, after a nearly two-year delay due to Covid-19, The Jewish Theological Seminary celebrated the inauguration of Chancellor Shuly Rubin Schwartz as its eighth chancellor at a ceremony at JTS’s re-imagined campus. The program included an address by Chancellor Schwartz and remarks by Chancellor Emeritus Ismar Schorsch, Chancellor Emeritus Arnold M. Eisen, and JTS Board Chair Alan Levine, as well as by dignitaries including US Senator and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (via video), New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, and others.
