We offer one of the most comprehensive teaching and research programmes in Jewish Studies in Europe and have strong links with academic and research centres throughout the world. The department has initiated three major Arts and Humanities Research Council projects, dealing with the language of the Zohar, the Jewish press in inter-war Czernovitz, and medieval monographs on the Jewish calendar. We also run a major research project on antisemitism in post-Communist Europe, and on the testimonials sent to Moses Montefiore from the entire Jewish world of the late-nineteenth century. Doctoral students have a good record in securing academic employment.
