91香蕉视频 JTS
91香蕉视频 (JTS) was founded in 1886. Its mission was to preserve the knowledge and practice of historical Judaism. Since then, JTS has greatly expanded its mission, creating a beautiful campus and evolving into the prestigious center of Jewish learning it is today. A Jewish university with a world-class faculty and a diverse student body, JTS grants undergraduate, graduate, and professional degrees through its five schools and offers enriching programs for the Jewish community in the United States, Israel, and around the world.
JTS schools and facilities include the Gershon Kekst Graduate School; The Rabbinical School; H. L. Miller Cantorial School and College of Jewish Music; William Davidson Graduate School of Jewish Education; Albert A. List College of Jewish Studies; several research institutes; lay leadership and professional institutes; community education programs; and the incomparable collections of JTS鈥檚 world-renowned Library.
Over the past year, JTS has embarked on a strategic plan. One of the pillars of the strategic plan adopted is the intention to broaden and strengthen JTS’s historic role as the convenor of multi-disciplinary conversations and studies on matters of crucial concern not only to the Jewish world but beyond it as well.鈥� And the plan lays great emphasis on the importance of disseminating the ideas generated in these convenings to many different audiences in many different forms.鈥� This historic role goes back at least 80 years, to the Institute for Religious and Social Studies and the Conference on Science, Philosophy, and Religion, both of which mobilized scholars, religious leaders, government officials, and journalists to collaborate on tackling issues of the day, among them the value of democracy (in the face of the risen totalitarianism in that time), the role of ritual and symbolism in society, equity in education, and many others.鈥�
