Interfaith Programme
The College acts as a hub for interfaith education of religious leaders and students for the other two Abrahamic faiths.
To this end, the College has pioneered the work of Jewish-Christian-Muslim dialogue for 50 years both for its rabbinic students and the wider community. For over 40 years, the College has been co-hosting an Annual Jewish-Christian-Muslim Student Conference and an Annual Jewish-Christian Bible Week in Germany open to all.
These remarkable gatherings combine serious learning with an open and supportive environment to explore the inner working of different religions.

43rd International Jewish-Christian Bible Week
For more than forty years Jews and Christians from Germany, England and Holland, from the USA, Israel and other countries, scholars and interested lay people, have come together at the Jewish-Christian Bible Week to study biblical texts against a background of the two traditions. Until 2003 it took place at the Hedwig Dransfeld Haus, Bendorf/Rhine since then in Haus Ohrbeck.
At the centre of this year’s Bible Week is the Song of Songs. All who are interested in the Bible and in Jewish-
Christian dialogue are warmly invited to participate in this special encounter with texts and people – longstanding participants and new ones alike.
