Welcome
The Program in Jewish Studies offers an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the religion, history, literatures, languages, social experience, and cultures of the Jewish people. Through a variety of lenses, the program conveys the complex interaction of forces that create and express Jewish cultural and religious identities.
