Atra: Center For Rabbinic Innovation

Atra: Center for Rabbinic Innovation trains and supports rabbinic leaders from all backgrounds to adapt their practice for the real world, to help them grow professionally, and to propel their leadership. Previously known as the Center for Rabbinic Innovation, our new name, Atra, invokes the ancient Aramaic phrase “mara d’atra,” with “atra” referring to the place or community a rabbi serves. While that once was limited to a synagogue or a beit midrash in a specific place, today’s Jews and those who love them can be found living and expressing their Judaism in places that ancient rabbis never would have expected.
