Beth Rivkah was created as a flagship institution, pioneering the Lubavitch Educational System for girls that prepares young girls for their futures as Jewish women and as community leaders, role models, and educators. In the aftermath of the Holocaust—with the Jewish people in a state of despair—the institution assumed vital importance in its role of educating and inspiring the next generation of Jewish women against the tide of assimilation spreading in the United States. Beis Rivkah ultimately became an anchor in the Rebbe’s historic efforts to dispatch energetic emissaries who illuminated and ultimately transformed the Jewish landscape. The Division of Higher Learning (DHL) of Associated Beth Rivkah Schools is a post-secondary academic teacher-training institute of Judaic studies. DHL offers its qualified and motivated students intensive and diversified curricula in Hebrew, Jewish Studies and Education, anchored in the classical texts of Judaism and Chassidism, and applied to the contemporary Jewish experience.

As one of the few Jewish teacher training institutions in the United States and Canada, the Division of Higher Learning of Associated Beth Rivkah School prepares an annual cadre of qualified graduates who will serve as teachers in Jewish Day Schools and Hebrew Schools throughout North America and beyond.
