Aleph | Alliance for Jewish Renewal

What is Jewish Renewal?

Jewish Renewal is a transdenominational approach to revitalizing Judaism.

Four Paths to Ordination

The ALEPH Ordination Program blends diverse modalities of learning, including our own video-conference courses, seminars, retreats and those undertaken in universities and seminaries, supervised by the Ordination Program Va'ad and Directors of Study.

ALEPH: Alliance for Jewish Renewal is a worldwide effort to fully embrace a contemporary egalitarian Judaism as a profound spiritual practice and social transformer, reaching beyond religious boundaries and institutional structures. Learn more.
