From the President

 

Welcome to the new Hebrew College website, your portal into our Jewish learning community. We hope that you’ll have an easy time finding answers to your questions about our vast range of educational opportunities, as well as connections to the faculty and staff who can help you find the right match for your particular area of interest. This website is a work in progress—please visit frequently to discover new features that will enable you to sample more of the Hebrew College experience.Our goal is to make this website not only a resource for information, but also a means to engage in the vibrant conversation that is the life of the College—a virtual bet midrash with both the resources and opportunities to engage in thoughtful exchanges about Jewish issues.

The website also represents our understanding of the need to leverage technology in service to the global Jewish community. As we expand our range of online degree and certificate programs, courses and new online learning modalities, we hope to make high quality Jewish education accessible to anyone who can tap into the Internet. In that sense, we hope to take Hebrew College’s pluralistic legacy to the next level—and welcome a world of students to join our conversation.

B’shalom,

Rabbi Daniel L. Lehmann
