Rabbinical Class of 2024/5784 Scholarship & Statements

Dear Beloved Family, Friends, and Community,

As we approach our ordination, we are reflecting on our journey through the exceptional Hebrew College community. We’ve been nurtured by extraordinary teachers, embraced by a diverse and pluralistic environment, and supported unconditionally by you: our family, friends, and community members.

Our journey through rabbinical school has unfolded amidst unparalleled global challenges and uncertainties, underscoring the critical need for resilient rabbinic leadership in these times more than ever. Through these times, the strength of our cohort, our love for Torah, and the unwavering support of the Hebrew College community have been our pillars.

Inspired by our transformative experience, we are committed to paying it forward. In celebration of our ordination, we are hoping to raise $20,000 in scholarship funds for an incoming student at Hebrew College next year. This is our way of ensuring future students can benefit from the same nurturing environment that has been pivotal to our growth as emerging Jewish leaders.

We invite you to join us in this endeavor. Contributions can be made in honor of the Class of 2024 or an individual ordainee at the following link: Hebrew College Class of 2024 Scholarship Fund.

For those who prefer to donate by check, please address it to the Office of Advancement, Hebrew College, 1860 Washington St, Newton, MA 02466, with “HCRS Class of 2024 Gift” in the memo field.

Thank you for your continued support and blessings.

Shalom U’vracha,
The Class of 2024
