Judaic Studies

The Program in Judaic Studies at the Ronald O. Perelman Institute for Judaic Studies offers students an opportunity to explore Jewish culture from an interdisciplinary perspective. The program sponsors a core course, “Great Books of the Jewish Tradition“ and a course in biblical Hebrew. It draws the rest of its offerings from several departments in the University.

The Center for Jewish Life embraces all Jewish students, amplifying connections to Jewish meaning, experience, and community. We aspire to provide insights and pathways to help Princeton Jewish students live their lives as a sacred gift. We hope to help every student find their own voice within the larger narrative of the Jewish people — on their own terms — but in ways that are deeply connected to the wisdom of our ancient tradition and linked to the opportunities and challenges of today’s complex world.
