The program, which is
starting this fall, includes
what program director
Joseph Cohen calls the first
Southern Jewish Archive in
the South.
Cohen, a professor of
English in the university's
Newcomb College, said
there are more than 300
Jewish studies programs
throughout the United
States "but Tulane is far
behind because it never had
a school of religion to nuture
'such a program."
He said several differ-
ent types of students
would be attracted to the
new Jewish studies
major sequence, which
includes studies of the
Holocaust; the history
and philosophy of East-
ern religions; Jewish
music; Jewish literature;
the history of Russian
Jews; the history of
Spanish Jewry; ancient
Israel; early and modern
Judaism; and Hebrew
language.
Cohen said students from
the metropolitan east com-
ing to the New Orleans uni-
versity "with a strong edu-
cational background will
use the program to delve
into an important part of
their lives in a more formal
way. They will be interested
in enrichment and self-
identity."
A larger group of majors,
he said, will come from "a
southern Jewish Reform
background. Their heritage
and identity will not be
nearly so well defined." He
added, "Many young Jews
who know they are Jewish
but want more than that
will use the major to find out
what they can."
Discussing the antici-
pated interest of non-
Jewish students, Cohen
said "in my course on mod-
ern American Jewish liter-
ature, students take the
course because they want to
enlarge their own knowl-
edge of the general culture,
because they have close
Jewish friends or for mar-
riage."
Cohen said speakers,
Liberty Forum
art exhibits and related
programming "are the
kinds of things we expect
to do a lot of. It will add to
the cultural scene for all
concerned, in the local
community as well as on
the campus."
Discussing plans for the
South's first Southern
Jewish Archive, Cohen said
that "for the past century-
and-a-half, there has been a
flourishing Jewish culture
in small towns and rural
communities throughout
the South—a culture which
differs remarkably from
that of •the Jewish com-
munities established along
the Eastern Seaboard."
He predicted that, within
one or two decades, "few
traces of this peculiarly
Southern Jewish tradition
will remain" because "the
overwhelming majority of
the present generation is
going to universities, enter-
ing the professions, and not
returning to the small
towns. Because much of the
memorabilia generated by
people's lives is already lost;
we want to preserve as
much as we can of the re-
maining culture" of South-
ern Jewry.
Cohen, who himself
comes from a small town in
Tennessee, said other goals
of the programs include a
substantial increase in the
university's holdings in
Judaica and developing
funding for a chair of Jewish
studies to make it possible
for an eminent Jewish
scholar to be in residence at
the university.
