My year as a visitor at Hebrew College Rabbinical School was transformative. The davening was uplifting and soul nourishing and the learning amazing — a wonderful blend of serious scholarship and deep spiritual and moral inquiry. I encountered a supportive learning community with respect for tradition coupled with room for challenge and honest debate.

Delve into the role that music has played in Jewish life from ancient to modern times; learn about the music of the Jewish people throughout the Diaspora; compare prayer in different religions and parts of the world; and study Jewish music and prayer with our faculty of cantors and musicians and alongside cantorial students.
