Beyond Learning: A Series of Events in the Multidisciplinary Program in Jewish Studies
Throughout the academic year, the Multidisciplinary Program hosts various meetings designed to enrich your learning experience. These gatherings offer a chance to pause from your regular coursework, enjoy and learn from tours, lectures, or film screenings, and connect with all students in the program. This fosters a vibrant learning community.
Important to note:
- These meetings are a mandatory requirement for students in the Cramim Excellence Program.
- All other program students (those not in the Cramim program, including the Jewish Culture Program and the International Program) must participate in the tours and are welcome to join the other events.
- One event each semester is specifically for International Program students, and their attendance is mandatory.
- All meetings are scheduled for Sundays. Changes to the meeting schedule may occur throughout the year.
