| Biography | The London School of Jewish Studies was founded as Jew's College in 1855, a rabbinical seminary in London.
The organisation was re-focussed and renamed to its present name in 1999, with an emphasis on providing a broader range of adult educational courses and training to the wider Jewish community. The rabbinical training programme was suspended, and much of the historical holdings of the library were sold off. LSJS has had growing success in its new role, and since 2012 once again offers rabbinical training, in conjunction with the programme set up by the Sephardi community. |
