Each year up to 20 qualified future Jewish professionals from all backgrounds are chosen to enroll in the Hornstein Program. A typical student may have been part of a youth movement, worked as a Hebrew school teacher, sat on a community relations task force or raised funds for their synagogue. Some students are experienced professionals in other fields who are searching for meaningful work that brings their personal and professional identities closer together. No matter what their background, our students choose the Hornstein Program to become critically informed, highly skilled professionals committed to shaping the future of the Jewish community.
The diversity of a typical class adds to its intellectual and professional excitement. Because graduates will be working in an increasingly diverse Jewish community, they confront tough questions about pluralism, tolerance and inclusion in their training. The educational experience at the Hornstein Program presents "living models" of good professional practice.

"Every day at Hornstein reaffirms my conviction that this is where I am meant to be. Even the most stressed and snow-filled day is better than any I had in my previous work."

"The Hornstein program has exposed me to a world of possibility I never knew existed. The diversity of both the students and faculty enhanced my experience, as well as the great variance of Jewish communal issues addressed in the classroom. Hornstein provided me with a platform to find the annex where my professional and personal aspirations melded together."
