'''Jewish Theological Seminary''' of America is located on the northeast corner of Broadway and W 122nd St. It is known colloquially as the JTS. It is the academic and spiritual center of Conservative Judaism, the 2nd-largest movement of Judaism in the United States. The JTS consists of 5 schools:
* Rabbinical School
* Cantorial School
* Graduate School
* Davidson Graduate School of Education
* List College (for undergraduates)

Students in List College are in dual-degree programs with either the [[School of General Studies]] (for male and female students) or [[Barnard College]] (female students only). Students in JTS and Columbia are in the Joint Program; those in Barnard are in the Double-Degree Program. Students in both programs earn both a Bachelor's Degree from Columbia/Barnard in whatever they wish, and a second Bachelor's Degree from JTS, choosing from a variety of topics such as Bible, Philosophy, Jewish History, or Talmud (Jewish law). Students may also create their own interdisciplinary major at JTS. Students in the Joint Program live in JTS housing, with freshman and sophomores living in [[Mathilde Schechter Residence]] at 415 West 120th Street, between Amsterdam and Morningside Drive, and juniors and seniors living in [[Goldsmith Hall]] at 537 W 121 St on the corner of Broadway.

Mathilde Schechter Residence

Gabrielseed:

'''Mathilde Schechter Residence''' is a residence hall for [[Jewish Theological Seminary]] joint program underclassmen, located mid-block on 120th St. between [[Amsterdam Avenue]] and [[Morningside Drive]]. With fewer than 90 residents it is one of the smallest dorms in the entire Columbia/affiliates housing system; for better or for worse, everybody knows everybody else. And, because it is accessible only to the relatively small community of [[JTS]] undergraduates, it is notoriously insular--which, again, has its advantages and disadvantages.

MSRH has a newly renovated music room, a long-neglected library with a somewhat idiosyncratic collection of rare and out-of-print Jewish books, and one of the slowest elevators in [[New York City]]. Its assembly room was the location of [[AEPi]] meetings until that fraternity was given a house in 1994, and its Music Room now hosts the Jewish [[a capella]] group [[Pizmon]]'s weekly practices. Nightly Ma'ariv services begin in the Music Room at 10:00pm.
