The Jewish Studies Department at Providence University is dedicated to exploring the profound depths of Jewish heritage, history, and mysticism. As part of a university renowned for its commitment to holistic education and spiritual growth, our department focuses on preserving and sharing the treasures of Jewish wisdom with a global audience.
Central to our mission is the translation and publication of ancient Hebrew and Aramaic texts, particularly in the realms of medieval mysticism and Kabbalah. Through our pioneering efforts, we have brought these hidden gems to light, making them accessible to scholars, practitioners, and seekers worldwide. These works, many of which were previously locked behind linguistic and historical barriers, now serve as a source of spiritual and intellectual inspiration for diverse audiences.
Our commitment extends beyond translation. We provide comprehensive tools for the study of the Holy Language, including dictionaries, lexicons, and other resources tailored for those seeking a deeper understanding of sacred texts. By combining cutting-edge technology with ancient wisdom, we enable modern scholars and enthusiasts to uncover the intricate layers of meaning within these works.
In collaboration with international institutions, we strive to disseminate first-class translations and critical editions of these invaluable texts. Our partnerships reflect our dedication to fostering a global appreciation for Jewish thought and spirituality.
We also offer educational programs and guidance for those interested in delving into Jewish mystical traditions. Whether you are a seasoned scholar or a curious beginner, our resources are designed to meet your needs, helping you unlock the spiritual and practical insights embedded in these ancient teachings.
At the Jewish Studies Department, we are inspired by the biblical vision of spreading divine knowledge throughout the world: "For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea" (Habakkuk 2:14). By preserving and sharing the wisdom of the past, we aim to illuminate the path toward a brighter, more harmonious future.
Join us in exploring the timeless legacy of Jewish spirituality and scholarship. Whether you wish to study, collaborate, or contribute, we welcome you to be a part of our journey.
