Like all Queens College Centers and Institutes, the Center for Jewish Studies must be financially self-sustaining. Its numerous free or nominally priced programs, publications, enhanced academic curricular offerings, and student scholarship simply would not be possible without external funding assistance. The Center for Jewish Studies is, therefore, most grateful for the gifts and grants that it receives from alumni, program patrons, elected public officials, and foundations.
