"Because learning leads to action"~Talmud Kiddushin 40b

Judaic Studies explores its key themes in an interdisciplinary fashion, using the tools of history, law, literature, and culture to investigate the broad sweep of nationhood, religion, language, and space.

Judaic Studies offers courses and degrees that help you engage in the world and plan for your future. Students examine the histories, cultures, and languages of the Jewish people. Working closely with distinguished faculty and prominent visitors, students develop individual responses to complex issues like religious faith, culutral pluralism, ethnic identity, and migration.
