Our Courses of Study

PrintE-mail

The purpose of the Institute is to provide high quality trainings in order to ensure that the Jewish community also in the coming years will be served by a well qualified leadership that is able and willing to pass the chain of our Dutch Jewish heritage on to new generations.  

To achieve this goal, the training of Rabbis is our first priority. Our first class of 5 students were ordained in August 2008.

The second priority is that of shelichay tzibbur, cantorial training. The first group of 15 students completed their training in May 2009.

Next on the list of priorities is the training of teachers for the Jewish classes for children and youth. A 2-year course of study will start in April 2010.

In addition to this, the Institute will also offer Jewishly strong courses for persons who are already taken on responsibility for our congregations and organisations and for those willing and able to do so within the foreseeable future, in whatever form that may take.

Via the menu on the left you can find more information about these courses of study.
