Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion-Cincinnati Reviews

"The program is comprehensive and practical, with very little busy work. However, they are cramming a lifetime of Torah study and pastoral care into 5 short years, so you give up any semblance of a life outside of school (as well as your summers!). Be ready for this program to be your lifestyle, not just your school."

"The Pros are that you get to live in Jerusalem for a year, there are lots of work-study programs and good financial aid for everyone, and a lot of one on one attention from faculty. Cons are the lack of a social environment, poor public transportation"

"The school is great, but its a definite commitment. The faculty is wonderful and works with the students to ensure they are receiving the best education. Be sure to understand everything your program entails before applying."
