in 1819, Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise was born.

After arriving in the U.S. from Bohemia in 1846 and later settling in Cincinnati, Wise recognized the urgent need for a homegrown system to educate and ordain American rabbis. In 1875, that vision became reality with the establishment of Hebrew Union College, forever shaping the future of Jewish leadership and education. Wise’s work extended beyond the College, including the founding of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (now the Union for Reform Judaism) and the Central Conference of American Rabbis, institutions which remain vital to American Jewish life today.

As we continue celebrating our 150th anniversary, we’re proud of our place in history as a lasting foundation for Jewish life and learning – and we’re equally excited for the future.
