Get to Know Us

Becoming a rabbi is a huge commitment in time, energy and personal resources. Our students spend five to six years in full-time, concentrated study, acquiring the skills, knowledge and experience necessary to assume positions of leadership in the Jewish community. We encourage you to evaluate this decision carefully from every possible angle.

To help you assess whether a rabbinic career might be a good fit for you, we suggest that you engage in the following activities before you apply.
