Overview: About the Center

Steve Weitzman, Director

The Taube Center for Jewish Studies at Stanford has twenty-two affiliated faculty members, seven with endowed chairs. Our affiliated faculty members teach courses on the full expanse of Jewish history, literature, language, religion, education and politics. Hundreds of undergraduates take advantage of these courses each year. The Taube Center supports graduate students conducting doctoral work in the field of Jewish Studies. We also offer four annual endowed lectures and many other opportunities for faculty, students and the public to participate in a wide range of symposia, colloquia, conferences, and other special events. Based at the Taube Center for Jewish Studies is one of the leading journals of the field -- Jewish Social Studies: History, Culture, and Society, published by Indiana University Press -- and Stanford Studies in Jewish History and Culture, a book series published by Stanford University Press.
