Why Study at Leo Baeck? Find out here.
The Leo Baeck College is unique – providing information, education and Rabbinic training for Judaism in the 21st century - and is the only centre in the UK for the training of rabbis and teachers in Progressive Judaism. Leo Baeck students learn in a warm and collegial atmosphere – with teaching staff of the highest calibre and commitment, and library resources second to none. The study of religious traditions is infused with a love of Jewish learning – yet still described as being creative, diverse and inspiring.
