  • Lectures & Conferences
    forums that address stimulating, timely issues in Jewish studies that are open to students, faculty, and community members
  • Community Outreach
    a variety of options (from the annual speaker series and presentations to materials and small-group discussions) and topics (from Judaism to global affairs to the Holocaust) that bring students, faculty, and the larger community together
  • Cultural Activities
    a collaborative approach to celebrating the Jewish community, including book fairs, film festivals, and special events
