Biographical History
The Jewish Theological Seminary of America was founded in 1886 and reorganized in 1902 under the leadership of Solomon Schechter. The Seminary, located in New York City, is considered the fountainhead of the Conservative Movement in Judaism. It consists of a rabbinical school and graduate and undergraduate programs in Jewish studies; during the first half of the century it also included a Jewish teachers training institute. The Seminary's leaders have been: Sabato Morais (1886-1897), Solomon Schechter (1902-1915), Cyrus Adler (1915-1940), Louis Finkelstein (1940-1972), Gerson Cohen (1972-1986), and Ismar Schorsch (1986-present).
