While we take pride in being history-makers and serving as pioneers in the Conservative Jewish community, we are much more than innovators and pacesetters. First and foremost, we are a full-fledged five-year rabbinical school that values rigorous scholarship, embraces the splendors of spirituality, and provides our students with vast opportunities to grow intellectually and spiritually. On the idyllic campus of American Jewish University, in Los Angeles, and in an atmosphere that places great emphasis on personalized teaching, our students open their minds and hearts to the texts and traditions of our religion, feel the presence of God in their lives, and assume the ever-expanding roles and responsibilities offered to those entering the Conservative rabbinate of the 21st century. We invite you to learn more about the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies and welcome your questions and requests for more information.

Louis J. Sachs I really wasn't looking for a community, I wanted a school - but I found an incredible community here at AJU. Louis J. Sachs Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies Natan Freller Every day I am discovering that I am capable of changing the reality around myself. Natan Freller Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies Josh Warshawsky I really loved the way in which the AJU Rabbis and teachers were teaching, and the way they welcomed me into their classrooms, offices, and homes. Josh Warshawsky Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies Rachel Marder I chose Ziegler because it is a small and supportive community. Rachel Marder Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies Ariel Shoklapper This is an exciting time for the Jewish people and in history. I want to be the kind of leader that will help shape and stabilize, solidify the foundations of our institutions for generations to come. Ariel Shoklapper Graduate School of Nonprofit Management, Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies Alexandra Rosenbaum At Ziegler, I find myself questioning everything. As I delve deeper into text, acquiring better skills and proficiency, I realize how little I know - about my tradition, my practices, and myself. This has been a transformative and challenging experience in the best way - I am learning to clearly define who I am and why I have chosen this path.
