Transitions: - The Jewish Theological Seminary

June 4, 2013
Dear List College Parent,
I am pleased to welcome you and your List College student—our List College student—
to The Jewish Theological Seminary. I hope you will all become an integral part of the
List family.
All five schools of JTS are united in their commitment to preparing future leaders for the
North American Jewish community and the world. Detailed knowledge of Jewish history
and tradition is essential for this effort, as are the skills needed to bring that knowledge
to bear on contemporary challenges. As I have told List students on many occasions, I
hope they will gain more than exercise in their walks back and forth along Broadway. I
hope that they will bring the wisdom gained from Jewish history and texts to the lab and
to every one of their endeavors. And vice versa: Jewish tradition and community will be
enriched when students infuse them with the finest knowledge and insights gained from
exposure to every cutting-edge field. I am confident that our students will benefit greatly
from the List program and that our communities as a whole will benefit as well.
Community is vital to List College. We strive to build community every day, and we take
great pride in the fact that our students tell us that this is one of the most precious parts
of their List experience. In that spirit, let me invite you to let us know if there’s anything
we can do to increase your student’s sense of that “at-home” feeling at List or to
strengthen your connection to us.
Once again, welcome. I look forward to greeting you soon.
Sincerely,
Chancellor Arnold Eisen
