Rabbinic Programme
The LBC rabbinic programme is unique in combining a European approach to rabbinic formation within a British Higher Education system. The curriculum is built around three foci: intellectual development, professional development and spiritual and personal development, which are integrated in a comprehensive curriculum for the 21st century rabbinate. Learning is centred on the individual, developing over five years with a sequence of courses, learning opportunities, skills development, personal and spiritual development, practical rabbinics and placements.

We seek to create rabbis with their own rabbinic styles drawing upon the wellsprings of our tradition to lead and teach in the post-modern world of synagogues, schools and communities. We take a critical and interpretive view of Jewish texts and thought in the light of Western civilisation, particularly focusing on the personal and interpersonal growth and development of the rabbi as a means to guide and help others.
Our long-standing work in interfaith dialogue shapes the rabbinic programme as a mean to understand the Other in a world that is fragmented and divisive. Spiritual exploration of religious practices, thought and ideology are an integrated aspect of the programme without prejudice for any one particular ideology. However as a seminary providing for the rabbinic needs of the Reform and Liberal communities, we explore Progressive Judaism in depth and the implications for rabbinic leadership in our Movements.
