Meet Our Students & Alumni

Our students share their perspectives on Hebrew College’s learning community!

Our Partnership with Middlebury Language School

We are excited to provide a significant opportunity for incoming ordination students to enhance their Hebrew language skills by studying at Middlebury Language Schools. This collaboration allows new rabbinical students to access an unparalleled immersive learning experience during the summer before they begin their studies in Newton. Learn more

What kind of RABBI will you be?

Educator, author, artist, musician, activist, organizer, poet, professor, pastoral caregiver, facilitator, counselor, healer, caretaker, spiritual guide, community builder, prayer leader, farmer, host, Eved Hashem, translator, peacemaker, performer, darshan, midwife, officiant, fundraiser, preacher…YOU!

When we asked our rabbinical alumni to describe their rabbinates, their responses were a reminder of the breadth and depth of rabbinic work—and how they each have taken their Hebrew College education out into the world to create a rabbinate that reflects their unique passions and gifts. Across the board, their descriptions reflect deep creativity, commitment, love of Torah, social action, and innovative spiritual and prayer leadership.
