Support Jewish Studies

When you donate to the Program in Jewish Studies at CU Boulder, you can help make a difference in the world.

What do we do? We teach students about the Jewish world 鈥 past, present, and future. With this knowledge our students learn how to think about social difference and how to act ethically in difficult situations. In Jewish Studies classes, students acquire the tools they need to carry on conversations with people who are different from them and to become leaders in their communities, large and small. We also support the groundbreaking research of our baby直播app into Jewish history, music, literature, philosophy, and religion. Finally, we design and organize educational events for you 鈥 our community members 鈥 so you can continue learning and growing alongside us. Your donations make all of this possible. So 鈥 if you see value in what we do, please make a donation now.   

There are many giving opportunities through the Program in Jewish Studies. Take a look at the full list below and
