Schechter Institutes

In the face of growing demographic and political influence of Orthodoxy in Israel, the Schechter Institutes offer Jewish studies in an inclusive and tolerant environment. The Institutes house four programs to enrich Jewish education in Israeli non-Orthodox public schools, educate teachers through graduate degree programs in Jewish Studies, educate and ordain Rabbis and teach Jewish content to Russian-speaking Jews in Israel. The Institutes reach 38,000 elementary school students, over 600 graduate school students, 50 seminary students and approximately 800 people in Russian-speaking programs.
