The Academy for Jewish Religion, California (AJR-CA), located in Los Angeles, trains rabbis, cantors and chaplains to serve congregations and organizations of any denomination.[1] In January 2013 Tamar Frankiel became the president of the Academy for Jewish Religion, making her the first Orthodox woman to lead an American rabbinical school.[2][3] The school itself is transdenominational, not Orthodox.[3] Later in 2013, the Academy moved from the Yitzchak Rabin Hillel Center for Jewish Life at UCLA to a building in Koreatown shared with the Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles.[4]
AJRCA is the only Jewish graduate institution in the US that prepares people to become board certified chaplains through a Clinical Pastoral Education Program - See more at: https://ajrca.edu/reflections-on-my-mother-judaism-and-radical-life-extension/
