Visits and Admissions Events

There is no better way to learn about Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion than by planning a visit to one of our campuses and by speaking with one of the members of our admissions staff.

We hope you will choose to visit at least one of our four campuses, where you will have the opportunity to meet our current students, learn from our esteemed faculty, attend dynamic worship services and fully participate in campus life.

When you visit us in Cincinnati, Jerusalem, Los Angeles or New York, you will truly get a sense of the community, culture and style of learning our students explore throughout their time here. We welcome you to:

• Meet our students, the future religious leaders and teachers of Reform and communal institutions;
• Study with our distinguished faculty, who themselves represent our commitment to diversity and pluralism;
• Experience uplifting and meaningful worship in a community who honors tradition and embraces creativity and innovation;
• Take part in the events that comprise campus life: student sermons and recitals, guest lecturers, and special programs
• Explore cultural and educational resources such as our renowned museums, libraries, and archives;
