There’s a new generation of American Jews and now there’s an institution focused on listening to their interests and answering their needs.

At Gratz College we understand that Jews and Judaism are not a monolith; that one size simply does not fit all. Today’s individuals and families face unique challenges in accessing the Jewish experience. For too many Jews, the joys of Judaism and Jewish community remain a closed, inaccessible mystery. Jews seek entry into the Jewish community for a multiplicity of reasons, at various times in their lives.

Many have never felt the sublime pleasure of Jewish learning or living. They have not experienced a childhood immersed in Jewish culture or a social network bound together by shared religious values. American Jews pass into the larger American community with ease. For many, Judaism is no longer a reflex, or an automatic social, cultural or religious way of life. If individuals are to affiliate and identify with Jewish life, they require compelling reasons for affirming their connection to the Jewish people.

Gratz College is committed to providing these life-enhancing experiences for Jews of all ages. Experience the richness, variety and embrace of Jewish learning and community.
