The Jewish Studies minor engages students who are interested in learning about the history, culture, and languages of Jewish communities. In a variety of courses in history, literature, philosophy, political science, and the Hebrew language, students learn how Jewish thought has influenced the modern world and how it has been influenced in turn by the societies and cultures in which Jews have lived over the past four thousand years.
