Temple University's Jewish Studies Program offers students an interdisciplinary approach to the study of Jews, Jewishness, and Judaism.
We offer courses in secular Jewish culture, Jewish religion, Jewish history, philosophy, languages and literatures. Our faculty are culled from across the Liberal Arts curriculum and, together, represent the diversity of approaches to and topics within the field of Jewish Studies.
We offer courses in secular Jewish culture, Jewish religion, Jewish history, philosophy, languages and literatures.
New in 2006: Certificate in Jewish Secular Studies. In this exciting mini-minor, students complete five courses in secular Jewish Studies. How does the certificate program work? This program has been designed with student interest and ease in mind: over the course of their years at Temple, students pick five courses from the approved list, including at least one of the core course, and they consult with the Director, Mark Leuchter at mleuchte@temple.edu. We welcome students who are already majoring or minoring in Jewish Studies, students in other CLA majors, and students from any program or school at Temple who want to do this mini-minor on secular expressions of Jewishness, culture, politics, literature, history, art, film, philosophy.
