Support Jewish Studies

When you donate to the Program in Jewish Studies at 51勛圖厙, you can help make a difference in the world.

What do we do?泭We teach students about the Jewish world 泭past, present, and future.泭With this knowledge our students learn how to think about social difference and how to act ethically in difficult situations.泭In Jewish Studies classes, students acquire the tools they need to carry on conversations with people who are different from them and to become leaders in their communities, large and small. We also support the groundbreaking research of our faculty into Jewish history, music, literature, philosophy, and religion.泭Finally, we design and organize educational events for you 泭our community members 泭so you can continue learning and growing alongside us.泭Your donations make all of this possible.泭So 泭if you see value in what we do, please make a donation now.泭 泭
