Description

Founded in 1886, the Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS) aims to turn Jewish scholarship into transformative action. JTS works to achieve its mission by training thoughtful, innovative leaders—rabbis, cantors, educators, lay leaders, and scholars— as well as by providing lifelong learning and professional development to alumni, adult learners, and Jewish communities in the United States, Israel, and around the world. JTS includes an undergraduate college; a rabbinical and cantorial school; a graduate school of education; a graduate school for Jewish studies; centers for pastoral education, spiritual arts, interreligious dialogue, and immersive programs; and a program in social entrepreneurship. Each year, more than 50,000 children are taught by JTS-trained teachers and administrators and more than 100,000 Jewish students live on college campuses with Hillels led by JTS alumni. In response to the 2020 COVID-19 outbreak and New York Stater’s shelter-in-place directive, JTS has transitioned to virtual classes and meetings as well as video holiday and weekly prayer services. JTS has continued to provide its students with library resources and has increased tuition assistance for those who need it. With Corporation support, JTS will continue to mentor the next generation of Jewish leaders who will bring creativity and innovation to schools, congregations, nonprofit organizations, and communities.
