Rabbinic Torah Seminar in Jerusalem 
Tuesday, July 9 – Thursday, July 18, 2024
Our intellectually rigorous and spiritually renewing Rabbinic Torah Seminar (RTS) enriches rabbis of all denominations and nurtures their capacity to inspire their communities.

Rabbinic Torah Seminar offers a rare opportunity for rabbinic leaders of all denominations to study together in an atmosphere of mutual respect. Participants explore the contemporary issues facing the Jewish people and elevate their leadership through transformative learning:

  • Probe classical texts in morning beit midrash sessions with hevruta and shiur with senior Hartman scholars.
  • Daily elective seminars with an array of Israeli and North American faculty.
  • Tiyulim, cultural activities, and evening sessions with leading public intellectuals.

Rabbis play a pivotal role in determining the direction and quality of Jewish life. In order to realize their full potential, rabbis need to cultivate spiritual and intellectual vibrancy and excellence through ongoing learning, personal growth, and new ideas for communal reflection and stimulation.

World class faculty include leading Hartman Institute scholars such as Donniel Hartman, Yehuda Kurtzer, Tal Becker, Mijal Bitton, Micah Goodman, Yossi Klein Halevi, Elana Stein Hain and Melila Hellner-Eshed, and key figures in world Jewry.
