Jewish Studies
is an extraordinary and varied field...
It provides the academic breadth and depth
necessary for students to comprehend culture and heritage that is over
5,000 years old. Judaism has a distinct impact on world civilization. The
interdisciplinary and exciting nature of the field includes courses drawn
from diverse disciplines. It provides students with an understanding of
Jewish traditions, culture, critical literary and canonical texts, language,
religion, history, politics and the arts. It contrasts approaches to the
modern world and changing concepts of Jewish identity. Students acquire
an understanding of the broader dynamics of the Jewish experience through
different eras and geographic settings in the United States, Israel and
the Diaspora.
