HERBERT APPLEBAUM & FAMILY llappqn- eufgeel 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.
