Judaic Studies

Yitzhak Rabin's Judaic studies curriculum revolves around the rich intellectual, cultural, and historical legacies of our Jewish heritage. Students develop a solid grounding in Hebrew language, basic concepts of Jewish law, philosophy, and ethics. They acquire the skills to study classical Jewish texts including the Bible, Talmud, Midrash, and commentaries. Students are encouraged to explore ways in which the Jewish tradition can be applied to current ethical, political, and social issues. Because our students come from a wide variety of academic backgrounds, Judaic Studies courses are offered on several levels, including a program designed for students who require an introduction to Hebrew and text study.
