Jewish Studies

I am delighted to have the honor of becoming Purchase College’s Jewish Studies Program Coordinator starting Fall 2021.

I first came to Purchase College as Coordinator of the Jewish Studies Program in the fall of 2001, just days before 9/11. It was quite a beginning, learning the ropes in the wake of a national catastrophe. 

The Richard Alan Sarnoff Prize in Jewish Studies

This year’s Sarnoff award in Jewish Studies, presented at the Humanities Awards Ceremony in May, went to Martin Drob. Martin was a History Major with a strong interest in Jewish Studies, who wrote his Senior Project about the United States’ response to the Holocaust.
