Rabbinical College of America
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rabbinical College of America is one of the larger Chabad Lubavitch Chasidic Yeshivas in the world. The Yeshiva is located in Morristown, New Jersey and has trained thousands of young Lubavitch rabbis. Many other Jewish families have moved into the area to be near the Yeshiva and surrounding synagogues. The Yeshiva is supported by some of the wealthiest Jewish philanthropists such as David Chase, Ronald Perelman and Ronald Lauder of Estée Lauder Inc. The Yeshiva is under the direction of Rabbi Moshe Herson.
Licensed by the New Jersey Commission on Higher Education[1], the Yeshiva grants a four year Bachelor's Degree in Religious Studies[2] accredited by the Association of Advanced Rabbinical and Talmudic Schools.[3]
The college is located on an 82-acre campus in Morris Township, New Jersey. The campus is the New Jersey Headquarters of the Chabad Lubavitch movement.
