Jewish Studies 2023 awards

The Cohn-Haddow Center for Judaic Studies is proud to offer these 2023 awards for undergraduate students.

Jewish Studies Award

The Jewish Studies Award will grant a $1,000 award for the completion of a Minor in Judaic Studies.

The Jewish studies minor engages students who are interested in exploring the history, culture, language and politics of the Jewish communities from biblical times through the modern period. Students learn how Jewish thought has influenced the modern world and how it has been influenced in turn by the societies and cultures in which Jews have lived over the past four thousand years.
