The Department of Judaic Studies is committed to rigorous, critical, and serious teaching and research about the Jewish civilization born in the ancient Middle East that has flourished in a variety of forms in many places for more than three thousand years. The department's course offerings and programs reflect the chronological scope and geographic diversity of the Jewish experience, with particular strength in the fields of intellectual, religious, and social history, founded on analytic study of primary sources.

Areas of study include the Bible; Talmud and Midrash; Jews of Central and Western Europe and America; the Holocaust; Israel and the Middle East; and modern Jewish thought.
