Society Component

The One-Year Jewish Studies Program

The Society Component focuses on questions relating to contemporary issues and questions related both to society in general and to Jewish life in Europe. These societal questions are approached from Jewish perspectives. This component consists of  Module Courses (usually 3-day long seminars led by Paideia Alumni), project work (Project Work I), Agora, and, if possible to organize, a study trip to one of the European Jewish institutions.
