Jewish Studies OverviewThe Jewish Studies concentration explores the many facets of the Jewish experience, with course offerings ranging across several millennia and continents. Students concentrating in Jewish studies also moderate into a divisional program. Students may focus, for example, on the classic texts of rabbinic Judaism; Hebrew language and literature; or the dynamics of contemporary Jewish life in Israel or the United States.RequirementsModeration follows the procedure for the primary program. The board consists of the student’s adviser, who is a member of the Jewish Studies concentration, and two faculty members from the divisional program. The Moderation should demonstrate progress in both Jewish studies and the student’s divisional program. Senior Projects are directed by a member of the Jewish studies faculty. The Senior Project board should include at least one member of the divisional program into which the student moderated. When choosing Jewish studies electives, at least one course must be outside the division of the student’s primary program; one course must be an Upper College conference or seminar; two Jewish studies courses should be taken prior to Moderation; and two semesters of Hebrew at the 200 level will count as one elective.
