Welcome!

The Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University contributes to the intellectual dynamism of this metropolitan campus through interdisciplinary courses and research. We engage students of all backgrounds through a rich and flexible curriculum and our Minor degree program. And we serve the greater Portland area through a range of community partnerships.

Please use this website to learn about our course offerings in Judaic Studies and Hebrew language, upcoming lectures and symposia, Minor degree, research tools and library holdings, community partnerships, summer programs, and participating faculty. We encourage you to join our weekly jsmail list, which announces Portland area courses, lectures, films, and events of interest to Judaic Studies.
