In the context of developing this statement, Hebrew College decided that the religious affiliation of the partners of applicants and students will no longer be a barrier to consideration for admission to and ordination from Hebrew College. These guidelines are a positive articulation and affirmation of the shared values at the heart of the College’s educational vision.
