The school fuses the methods and findings of the academic study of Judaism with the fervor and devotion of traditional study and observance. The school focuses on the journey of each rabbinical student to produce extraordinary rabbis to lead the Jewish people in a renaissance of talmud Torah (learning), shmirat mitzvot (observance), and gemillut hesed (acts of social justice and personal compassion). In this way, the school strengthens and energizes Conservative Judaism and Klal Yisrael. Founded in 1996, it was the first independent rabbinical school located on the [[West Coast of the United States\|U.S. West Coast]].
