School Description

Provided by Hebrew Theological College

In 1919, a group of rabbis met to evaluate the priorities of higher education in Chicago. The Beis HaMidrash LeRabanim was founded at this meeting, with an initial enrollment of ten students. Two years later, the yeshiva’s name was changed to Beis HaMidrash LaTorah - Hebrew Theological College, which was chartered by the state of Illinois as a degree-granting institution of higher education.

Since 1922, Beis HaMidrash LaTorah has ordained hundreds of rabbis, who have served as rabbis, chaplains and educators in the United States, Canada, Israel and throughout the world. The thousands of alumni who have studied at Beis HaMidrash LaTorah have made an indelible impression, both as lay and as professional leaders, upon the world’s Jewish community.
