The Hildesheimer Lecture
A cooperation between the Rabbinerseminar zu Berlin and the Berliner Studien zum Jüdischen Recht (Humboldt-Universität)
Unfortunately we have to postpone the Hildesheimer lecture to the second half of the year due to current events. This is due to a decision by the Berlin Senate, to cancel all meetings and events of the Berlin universities by July 20. and now also affects the Hildesheimer lecture. We will get back to you as soon as possible with a new appointment.
The Hildesheimer Lecture series was launched in 2013 by the Berlin Studies on Jewish Law of the Faculty of Law of the Humboldt University Berlin and the Rabbinical Seminar in Berlin.

The Berliner Studien zum Jüdischen Recht unite members of the Faculty of Law and the Faculty of Theology of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, the Jewish Community of Berlin and the Centrum Judaicum. It was established by Ignatz Bubis, Professor Dr. Bernhard Schlink and Dr. Roman M. Skoblo, who sought to provide an insight into the legal traditions of Judaism. The institution offers seminars and classes, mainly through the professorship for Jewish Law during each summer semester, funded by the Meyer-Struckmann-Foundation.
The Rabbinerseminar is located in the country with the fastest growing Jewish community in the world. Within the past 20 years the German Jewish community has tripled in size. With the revival, reestablishment and growth of the Jewish communities there is also a growing need for religious and spiritual leadership within the communities.
The Rabbinerseminar has taken on the important and essential task of educating a new generation of young, dynamic and ambitious rabbis. The rabbinical training consists of intensive halachic studies as well as a B.A. degree in Jewish Social Work at the University of Applied Sciences of Erfurt and key qualifications for the rabbinical position.
