Commencement is a meaningful and momentous day for our graduates, their loved ones and our entire AJU community and we strive to make it a very special occasion. Ordination is as equally meaningful as we welcome our Ziegler students to the rabbinate.  Please contact the individual schools to learn more about each of their ceremonies.
