Rabbi Dr. Robert T. Jury is a rabbi, educator, chaplain, counselor, and pastoral leader whose work bridges Jewish life, teaching, spiritual care, counseling, and mental health. His teaching, scholarship, and supervision focus on meaning-making, spiritually integrated care, addiction recovery, and the formation of reflective, culturally responsive counselors, chaplains, and other helping professionals.

Drawing on experience in congregational leadership, chaplaincy, counseling, and higher education, he works across academic, clinical, and communal settings with a commitment to intellectual seriousness, relational presence, and ethical care. A central part of his work is mentoring students and emerging professionals through teaching, advising, supervision, and reflective formation. This work extends across university, congregational, and clinical settings and includes long experience accompanying students and emerging adults through learning, identity development, recovery, and vocational formation.
