Jewish Studies, Education, and Languages

Gratz's Jewish Studies program, led by Joseph M. Davis, offers Ph.D. (fall 2024), M.A., and Certifications for students who seek challenging personal enrichment (Torah L'Shma, learning for its own sake) and who want to explore a wide range of topics in Jewish history, culture, religion, language, text, and the ever-evolving Jewish community of today.

Gratz College is the largest graduate-level provider of Jewish Education and Jewish Professional Studies in North America.

Rabbi Daniel Levitt, Gratz's newly appointed director of Adult Jewish Learning, will create a pluralistic space for learning that is open and deeply engaging for all.
