The Center seeks to coordinate all courses in Jewish Studies at Boston University. Its ambition is to provide a broad-based, academically rigorous curriculum in the most important areas of Jewish history, literature, and thought. It also supports the University teaching program in Hebrew language study. In addition, it actively works to support the enhancement of library resources in Jewish studies, and to sponsor relevant lectures, conferences, and publications in Jewish Studies. The Center is committed to the support of all types of research in Jewish Studies.

The Center hosts special events of high quality and interest in order to further the integration of Judaic Studies into the life of the University and the community. These include programs in films, theater, and music, all of which contribue to the cultural life of the University.
