HUC-JIR (of which the cantorial school, The SSM is an integral part) is a community of faculty, students, and administrators who share Judaism's vision of a better world and wish to work together to learn how to achieve it. We are committed to combining freedom of thought and openness of expression with intellectual rigor, artistic excellence, mutuality of trust, and collegial commitment to one another.
Students regularly supplement their formal classroom study with practical experience gained through employment opportunities with synagogues in the New York area as teachers, youth group leaders, cantorial assistants, or chaplaincy interns. Guidance and Counseling Certain members of the faculty serve as academic advisors. Before the beginning of each semester, their role is to assist students in their choice of electives. During the course of the year, they will be available by appointment to give individual support and guidance. Under certain circumstances, students may be directed by other members of the faculty to consult these advisors. |
