"Days after #Hebrew Union #College graduated its final #rabbinical class in #Cincinnati, a new #Jewish #seminary has its eyes on the #school’s #campus — and wants the state of #Ohio to bestow the prize on them.

The College for Contemporary #Judaism, which aims to become a new home for liberal #rabbinicalstudents in the Midwest, on Thursday added its voice to a lawsuit against #HUC brought by Ohio #AttorneyGeneral #DaveYost. The state’s suit claims that HUC, the #Reform #rabbinicalschool, violated state #nonprofit law and misled its donors by shuttering its historic Cincinnati campus this year.

In its motion to intervene, the new college argues that it should be the rightful steward of HUC’s campus, as well as all other Cincinnati assets of the #Reform movement mainstay. They include the #KlauLibrary, the #AmericanJewishArchives, the #SkirballMuseum and hundreds of millions of dollars given by donors who believed HUC would “permanently” remain in the city."
