Mission, Vision



The Reconstructionist Rabbinical College educates leaders, advances scholarship and develops resources for contemporary Jewish life.



The vitality of the Jewish people requires a dynamic approach to Jewish life. The approach must honor the past, meet the needs of the present and provide a road to the future through bold, innovative thinking.

The Reconstructionist Rabbinical College will:

  • EDUCATE rabbis and other Jewish community leaders
    who will help people create meaningful, purposeful
    and spiritual lives; engage Jews of all ages in sacred
    study grounded in scholarly, traditional and innovative
    methods of interpretation; foster participation in
    Jewish cultural arts and letters; inspire Jews and
    others to pursue justice, peace and righteousness;
    and lead efforts to build and sustain participatory
    and vibrant Jewish communities.
  • ADVANCE scholarship with an esteemed teaching
    faculty that gives voice to Jewish wisdom throughout
    the ages; sheds light on the historical and intellectual
    dynamics of Jewish religious civilization; and
    contributes fresh ideas to contemporary Jewish life
    through research and publication.
  • DEVELOP and widely disseminate Jewish liturgical and
    educational materials that foster meaningful living and
    promote a world in which all peoples coexist peacefully
    and with mutual respect.
