Third, Gratz is in the process of reimagining its campus and public-facing identity as a site for public-facing learning.In keeping with its nonsectarian approach, Gratz has set a vision to cultivate a "pluralistic beit midrash," meant for all people to obtain access to high level Jewish wisdom, experience Jewish culture, and thereby widen their relationships and perspective.
