They included stu- dents from as far away as Min- netonka, MN and as close as Oak Park, Ypsilanti, Hunting- ton Woods, and West Bloom- field, MI. Yet Dena Cohen, Noah Curhan, Hannah Far- kas, Zachary Goldsmith, Kim- berly Lemkin, Helene Simons, and Kate Wallace share with Aaron Kaye an enthusiasm for integrating study of Jews, Ju- daism and Jewish culture into their studies. They did more than take a single course; they declared a minor in Judaic Studies, a decision that will reverberate throughout their adult lives because it gives them insight into and ways of thinking about Jewish history and culture. Indeed, Judaic Studies appeals to students in part because of its flexibility and intimacy. Students get to contemplate serious questions that animate the history of Jews, Jewish literatures written in many languages across the centuries, and facets of a rich Jewish religious culture.
