UNDERGRADUATE JEWISH STUDIES
FOR WOMEN


Yeshiva University attracts women who want to develop their entire being—whose idea of success includes professional ful?llment, strong family and rich spiritual life.

Stern College for Women’s Rebecca Ivry Department of Jewish Studies offers the country’s largest and most diverse undergraduate Jewish studies program for women. Designed to expose students to the beauty of Torah study and the depth of Jewish tradition, the program offers valuable training in rigorous thought, exposure to research methods and opportunities for independent work. It empowers them to become dynamic participants in Jewish life and to pursue careers in Jewish education.

The Basic Jewish Studies Program is designed for students new to Hebrew language and textual study, who aspire to attain a broad-based Jewish philosophical and text-based education.

By the time they graduate, Yeshiva University women receive an integrated education that is the equivalent of two complete undergraduate degrees. Their efforts are rewarded through development of knowledge, worldview and character.

Most important, this Torah Umadda education empowers women to strive for profound personal growth while preparing them to lead ethical and moral lives.

NOURISHING THE SPIRIT

Our Mashgichim Ruchani’im and Madrichot Ruchaniot are available by appointment or on a drop-in basis to discuss spiritual concerns and to offer guidance about classes, personal life or future plans
