Jewish Learning
Union College Hillel offers a series of classes every term through Hillel International "Four the Moment" (4tM). Each class is a 4-session, conversational cohort-based learning experience aimed to engage students in focused, thematic discussions and community building. Class topics we have done in the past include topics such as art in Judaism and meaning and holiness of Shabbat.

The Jewish Studies Minor allows students to examine aspects of Jewish history, culture, and Hebrew language in an interdisciplinary manner, drawing on relevant classes taught in various departments and programs.
