Participant Testimonials:

“The Hadar Rabbis' Yeshiva Intensive was one of the most rewarding and nourishing professional experiences I have had. Learning with rabbinic colleagues was wonderful, and Hadar's uniquely talented teachers opened up old texts in new ways. I am so grateful I had this opportunity.” “The Rabbinic Seminar was an enlightening experience because it allowed me to share ideas with other rabbis on the deepest levels. It was incredibly fascinating to witness my colleagues processing challenging texts - in the moment. The group was a diverse collection of serious leaders and thinkers. I am deeply grateful for this transformative experience.”

“As a rabbi outside of a major metropolitan area, I struggle to find learning opportunities that will enrich my rabbinate and sustain me in my work. The learning at Hadar was relevant, inspiring and rejuvenating - both personally and professionally. For example, one of our seminars explored how, as rabbis, we must navigate the tensions between Jewish law and our own moral sensibilities. Just one day after returning from the program, I was called into the psychiatric unit of a local hospital. Drawing on my learning at Hadar, I was able to comfort and guide a patient through a profoundly difficult moral decision. In short, the Hadar program helps me be a better rabbi and has provided me with crucial resources in my work.”

“Attending RYI is an investment in your rabbinate, your mind, and your neshamah. RYI is an wonderful vehicle for fulfilling learning and rabbinic growth thanks to the superb teachers and excellent choice of texts to learn. The camaraderie of colleagues who attend is yet another wonderful benefit.”
