Student Look Book 2026

JTS is in the midst of an exciting period of growth, expanding in the number of students we serve and in the breadth of their backgrounds, interests, and areas of study. Our Division of Religious Leadership continues to see rising enrollment in both The Rabbinical School and H. L. Miller Cantorial School. Meanwhile, our Division of Lifelong and Professional Studies now offers, among other innovative programs, an MFA in Creative Writing, an MA in Spiritual Care and Counseling, a new MA in Ritual Leadership, a certificate in Biblical Hebrew, and the Emerging Leaders Fellowship for teens that brings them together with JTS faculty and rabbinical students.

In the following pages, you will meet students from our traditional schools and from our new academic programs. You will discover their unique paths to JTS, the passions driving their studies, and the meaningful work they are already undertaking both within and beyond our walls. At JTS we are educating scholars and professional leaders for academia, preparing highly trained and compassionate Jewish educators, equipping spiritual caregivers to bring a Jewish lens to their sacred work, supporting Jewish writers as they develop their voices, and inspiring the next generation of passionate, thoughtful, and committed Jewish leaders. We are grateful for your support in these efforts, and we hope you feel great pride.
