Jewish studies also known as Judaic studies is a subject area of study available at many
colleges and
universities in North America.Traditionally, Jewish studies was part of the natural practice of
Judaism by
Jews. The study of
Torah,
Tanakh, and
Talmud was all part of every-day religious life for the Jewish people. Since the
Renaissance and the growth of higher education through universities in modern times, and following the mass-secularization of most Jews today, many people, including people not of the Jewish faith, have chosen to study Jewish studies as a means of understanding the Jewish religion, heritage, and Jewish history.
