ACADEMY FOR JEWISH RELIGION
A Career with More Meaning

Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, Reconstructionist, Renewal? AJR, a pluralistic seminary in Yonkers, NY, eschews divisions and labels to train rabbis, cantors, and communal leaders to serve all branches of Judaism.

The colors in the woven-star symbol are the blue, crimson and purple of the Israelites’ Biblical desert sanctuary. The logo is often accompanied by the tagline we developed: “Weaving Together the Strands ofJudaism.”
