Jewish Studies is an interdisciplinary field that allows students to sample courses across the liberal arts curriculum at Temple University. Central to Jewish Studies is an examination of the history, culture, beliefs, customs, practices, texts, and languages of the Jewish people. It addresses the legacy of over two thousand years of Jewish life as it has been lived in Jewish communities across the globe. At Temple, we pay particular attention to contemporary issues of Jewish culture, identity, and practice.
