The Nathan Peter Levinson Foundation is a religious community foundation.
Our aim is to provide academically high-quality and transparent training for liberal and conservative rabbis and cantors.
The students are our focus.
We strengthen the Jewish community in Germany and the local Jewish communities with the sustainable training of Jewish clergy.
The establishment of the Nathan Peter Levinson Foundation is a consistent new beginning in rabbinical and cantorial training in Germany.
It is in line with the tradition of passing on the Torah and Jewish traditions over thousands of years.
Our namesake is the German rabbi and scientist Nathan Peter Levinson (1921-2016).
His century-long life stands like no other for the fate of German-Jewish history, for catastrophic breaks as well as continuities after the Shoah.
The Conservative (Masorti) rabbinical seminary is named after the rabbi and religious philosopher Abraham J. Heschel (1907-1972). He serves as a role model for the theoretically and practically sound training of Conservative rabbis.
Louis Lewandowski (1821-1894) gave his name to the seminary for cantor training. As a link between tradition and modernity, he still plays a very special role today, bringing together conservative and liberal cantors.
The foundation is to become an affiliated institute of the University of Potsdam and work closely with the School of Jewish Theology and Jewish Studies at the University of Potsdam.
The training process at the three Levinson Foundation seminars is scheduled to begin in October 2024.
Further specific information on our offers will follow shortly.
The cooperation agreement between the University of Potsdam and the Nathan Peter Levinson Foundation was signed today!
