The
Schechter Institute is one of Israel's leading academic centers for modern Jewish
learning. |
Located in Jerusalem next to the Israel Museum, Knesset
and Israeli Supreme Court, the Schechter Institute was established in 1984,
with 4 rabbinical students.
Today, our Graduate School boasts
750 graduates with advanced degrees in Jewish Studies, and a current enrollment
of over 450 students. The Schechter Institute's Graduate School of Advanced Jewish Studies is an accredited Israeli academic institution of higher learning.
Since 1988, the Schechter Rabbinical Seminary has
ordained 65 rabbis who have assumed leadership positions in Israel and around
the world. There are currently 20 students in the Israeli 4-year program (12
men and 8 women) and another 33 students from Rabbinical Seminaries from North
and South America who are spending one year studying at Schechter.
The Schechter Institute houses the TALI Education
Fund, a nationwide education program providing enriched Jewish Studies
in 140 public schools and pre-schools, and Midreshet
Yerushalayim, an adult education network which teaches Jewish Studies
to immigrants from the former Soviet Union in 25 locations all over Israel
and which runs a network of schools and educational programs in 22 communities
throughout Eastern Europe.
