The CU Boulder Program in Jewish Studies invites you to a special lecture by this year's Sondra and Howard Bender Visiting Scholar, Dr. Annette Yoshiko Reed.

The University of Colorado Program in Jewish Studies is excited to announce a $250,000 grant from the Henry Luce Foundation to launch a new initiative, in partnership with the University Libraries, entitled Jews of Color: Histories and Futures. Dr. Samira Mehta will serve as Principal Investigator.

Join Dr. Galeet Dardashti, prominent performer and cultural anthropologist, for this interactive program on Jewish piyyut (liturgical poetry and song) traditions from the Middle East and North Africa.

The Program in Jewish Studies and College of Music are pleased to offer two more online concerts this fall exploring klezmer music and Middle Eastern/North African Jewish poetic songs (piyyutim). The concerts will be in a webinar format, blending performance and discussion.

This year, due to Covid-19, the event went virtual, and our three Hebrew classes, along with faculty and alumni, collaborated in creating a virtual choir performing the iconic Arik Einstein song "Ohev Lihiyot Babayit" (translated as “I Love to Be at Home”). See the video!

In this webinar, Professor Bruce Haynes (University of California, Davis) will speak about his award winning book "The Soul of Judaism: Jews of African Descent in America" (NYU Press 2018), the first comprehensive study of African-American Jewry.

This program will introduce klezmer music as a kind of Jewish dialogue, or Jewish discourse. Klezmer is Jewish instrumental music from Eastern Europe, and it comes from the same culture as the Yiddish literature of Sholem Aleichem, S. J. Abramovitsh, and others.

"In fact, there are times when the mandate to keep kosher and the desire to be green may come into direct conflict."
