Undergraduate Student Research Showcase

Check out the research projects completed by our Spring 2022 research assistants!

Each year, the Program in Jewish Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder presents a music festival featuring Hebrew-language students, alumni, faculty, and members of the broader public. During the past two years of social distancing, we have gathered together virtually to explore the Hebrew language, build community, and make memories. This year, we came together online to sing the Israeli song “Ha-yeladim Koftzim” (by Roi Levy and Avraham Tal of Shotei Hanevu’ah).

The Program in Jewish Studies explores Jewish culture, history, society and thought from a broad, interdisciplinary perspective. The Program reflects the core goals of Colorado’s flagship university: to provide an outstanding liberal arts education, to foster critical thought and to instill a keen appreciation of humanity’s interrelatedness and diversity.
