Cincinnati is the historic center of Reform Judaism where Isaac Mayer Wise founded Hebrew Union College in 1875 to train American rabbis. The first institution of higher Jewish learning in the western hemisphere, HUC merged with the Jewish Institute of Religion in 1950 to become HUC-JIR. HUCinici is now one of four locations of the college institute, including New York, Jerusalem, and Los Angeles. The School of Graduate Studies, established here in 1948, serves as a premier center for advanced graduate study, training scholars of all faiths for universities and seminaries worldwide, offering Masters and PhD level degrees. HUCinci is also home to the Klau Library, the American Jewish Archives and the Skirball Museum.
