Giving to the Jewish Studies Program

The Jewish Studies Program at the University of Washington is proud to have touched the lives of thousands of individuals - both UW students and members of the wider community - about the rich history and contemporary circumstances of the Jewish people. This is our commitment.

Thanks to the generosity of our alumni and friends the Jewish Studies Program is able to develop new courses, improve the quality of instruction, pursue original research, and provide thought-provoking public lecture series and outreach to the community.

Please consider making a gift today to the UW Jewish Studies Program. Your commitment enables us to enhance our commitment to our students and the broader community.
