The Hebrew and Yiddish program at Johns Hopkins offers language instruction in Hebrew and Yiddish along with a wide range of offerings on the literature and culture of the Jewish diaspora (the Americas, Europe, Israel). Our courses count toward the undergraduate minor in Jewish Studies, offered through the Leonard and Helen R. Stulman Jewish Studies Program<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hebrew and Yiddish program at Johns Hopkins offers undergraduate and graduate students the tools to explore Jewish life in the modern period. From eighteenth-century Europe to contemporary Israel, courses taught in translation present Hebrew and Yiddish literature and film, and other cultural forms such as the visual arts and museums. Some courses offer a class section for students who can read sources in the original language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most courses earn Humanities credit and some are writing intensive. Language requirements in several undergraduate programs can be satisfied with Hebrew or Yiddish, including English, history, international studies, and writing seminars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
