The Schusterman Center for Jewish Studies at The University of Texas at Austin provides a multi-disciplinary Jewish Studies curriculum for students at the University of Texas and an innovative crossroads for research on the study of Jewish life in the Americas, its place in Jewish history, and its contemporary and future relationship to the State of Israel.

The newly configured Schusterman Center for Jewish Studies at the University of Texas undertakes a broad program of enrichment and expansion involving the hiring of new and distinguished faculty in core subjects and in the Center’s area of focus, the study of Jewish life in the Americas.

Even as it strengthens its curriculum, the Center reaches beyond the classroom through the support of University and community-wide events, support of visiting scholars who wish to use the University’s rich Judaica collections, as well as through lectures, conferences, exhibits and concerts displaying the full range of Jewish culture. www.utexas.edu
