Our Mission

The Samuel & Althea Stroum Jewish Studies Program at the University of Washington explores the richness and creativity of Jewish cultures across time and around the world.

We produce innovative scholarship that examines Jewish life in its cultural, intellectual, religious and international contexts.

We share our knowledge and experience through a broad array of courses in Jewish religion, language and literature, history, and contemporary Jewish life in the United States, Israel, Europe, and throughout the world.

We contribute to the vitality of the broader community by offering public events on campus, participating in educational programs off campus, welcoming non-degree students to our classes (including the Access program for those age 60 and over), and preparing our students for community service and leadership.
