Leo Baeck College welcomes the 2025 / 2026 cohort

LBC is pleased to announced its latest intake of progressive Judaism student rabbis.

Four students will start on LBC’s acclaimed five-year Rabbinic Programme in September 2025. The four encompass an eclectic range of backgrounds and nationalities, but all share a passion for progressive Judaism and a thirst to be part of communal life in the UK and beyond. LBC is also pleased to welcome one more student this year who will be commencing an Academic Degree Award.

Student rabbis will spend five years at the College training for the rabbinate. The depth and intensity of the programme is a reflection of the centrality of the College in the life of the Progressive Jewish world in the UK and Europe. The full programme can be found here.
