We invite you to become a member of the Friends of Jewish Studies. You may make a gift in support of the program by using the attached printable gift form, or by contacting the Jewish Studies Program at jst@ucdavis.edu.
The success of the Jewish Studies program depends on the generous support of people who value scholarly education and research. These are the Friends of Jewish Studies, a group of UC Davis alumni and community members who make annual gifts in support of the program. Our Friends help the program by funding undergraduate awards, public lectures and readings, workshops and conferences--all the essentials that help create a more robust and dynamic academic environment for our faculty, students, and friends from the community.
JS welcomes Professor Moulie Vidas (Religious Studies) who joins us this Fall.
Fall Conference, UC Davis, "Motherhood and the State: Women, Surrogacy and (Trans)Nationalism in Israel and India."
