I ended up in the Jewish Studies department quite by accident. I took Jewish Civilizations with Justin Cammy my first year at Smith on a whim after being waitlisted for several other courses. However, I couldn't be more pleased that I wound up in his class because it remains one of the most interesting classes I've taken at Smith. From modern Hebrew to American Jewish Literature, to trips to the Yiddish Book Center, my time working within the Jewish Studies Department has been some of the most interesting and rewarding aspects of my Smith education.

I am currently a junior at Smith and a Jewish Studies major. I've been studying Yiddish since January 2011 and this summer I am traveling to Tel Aviv to continue my studies. I fell in love with Yiddish after spending my J-term taking the Intensive Yiddish Language Course at the National Yiddish Book center, and decided to be a major soon after that. The classes and faculty of the Jewish Studies department are incredible.
