“These are the things whose fruits we enjoy in this world while the principal remains for us in the world to come: honouring one’s father and mother; performing righteous deeds; and making peace between people. But the study of Torah is equal to them all.” Mishnah Pe’ah 1:1
Jewish learning is one of the highest values of Masorti Judaism. We believe every Jewish person should have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of Jewish thought, history and culture, and to develop the ability to read and explore Jewish texts for themselves.
Honest intellectual engagement is one of the founding principles of our movement. In our study programmes, you will always be encouraged to think for yourself and express your views freely.
Bursaries are available for all our programmes to ensure cost is never an obstacle.

It was the perfect environment to have open conversations with those more knowledgeable than myself and I would highly recommend this programme to anyone finding their own Jewish identity, or just wanting to learn more!”
