Program Overview

Program Description:

The program in Jewish liturgy is interdepartmental, designed to introduce students to the development, genres, and themes of Jewish liturgical expression from ancient times to the present. With the oversight of their adviser, students choose courses from the liturgy offerings, as well as relevant courses from the departments of Bible, History, Talmud and Rabbinics, and Philosophy, in order to give them the broadest understanding of the historical development, the content, and the context of Jewish liturgy and ritual. Furthermore, students are encouraged to choose appropriate courses from neighboring institutions offered through the consortium. The program affords the student freedom to choose courses so that his or her interests can be fully developed.
