Why Jewish Studies? We are an interdisciplinary department that facilitates the critical study of Jewish history, religion, language, philosophy, politics, culture, society, music, art, and literature across continents and over three millennia. Integral to understanding crucial moments in the formation of Christianity and Islam, as well as distinct episodes in the cultures of the modern Middle East, Europe, and America, we access the resources of the entire university to explore Judaism, its evolution, and its expression from biblical times to the present.
