We offer a graduate degree in Jewish Education to help educators prepare to lead, transform and elevate Jewish learning for a pluralistic world. We focus on helping students develop:
The ability to become changemakers in their practice of Jewish Education in a rapidly changing educational landscape.
The MJED degree provides deep understanding of the complexity of Jewish life and learning through a pluralist approach to Judaism.
More Opportunities for Professional Growth
We are pleased to offer three other paths for your professional growth, whether you are ready to pursue a MJED or not:

Part of the beauty of the pluralistic program is that students are from all walks of life and everybody is able to bring in his or her own perspectives and background into the conversation. It’s a totally natural 21st century mode of learning.

Dr. Andrea Kasper, MJEd`07, Leadership Development Mentor and Non-Profit and Educational Consultant
In my experience over the years as a teacher, coach and head of a Jewish Day School, I can attest to the value of hiring educators with a Masters of Jewish Education. Not only do teachers with a Hebrew College MJEd have a solid understanding of educational theories and practice, but they also bring with them a commitment to social justice, to building meaningful, sustainable, and loving communities of learners, and to honoring both tradition and innovation. This value-based approach to education is woven into the DNA of the MJEd program.
Expand Your Professional Network
Because our graduate students work closely together as a cohort, they not only become an “online community” of learning and support, but they also develop a career-long professional network with each other and Hebrew College graduate alumni across the world.
