Apart from the Abraham Geiger Kolleg in Potsdam, for instance, there is also an orthodox rabbi school in Berlin ’s Mitte district.

And the conservative branch – traditionally positioned between orthodox and liberal – also plans to train its rabbis in Potsdam in future, at the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies.

This concentration in and around Germany’s capital is no coincidence – after all, Berlin boasts by far the largest Jewish community in Germany, numbering 11,000 members.

The college trains rabbis and cantors ( precentors ) for Jewish synagogue congregations, and does so in the liberal tradition of Reform Judaism.

Rabbis trained here already work in numerous German communities, such as in Berlin, Munich, Hanover, Erfurt, Duisburg and Hamburg.

At present, 17 men and 10 women are studying here.
