Founded in 1956, The Academy for Jewish Religion has been at the forefront of pluralistic rabbinic and cantorial training. Its graduates and students fulfill the needs of Klal Yisrael in this post-denominational era.
The Academy for Jewish Religion serves the needs of the Jewish community by ordaining rabbis and cantors and training Jewish leaders who combine their mastery of the intellectual and spiritual richness of our tradition with openness to its application in the pluralistic, contemporary Jewish community, and an awareness of living in the presence of God.
