The Jewish community in Central Maryland is a vibrant and diverse one, and there are many programs and initiatives that focus on cultural exchange both within and outside of the community. Through practical activities and primary sources, students can explore topics related to immigration, Judaism, Baltimore, and Holocaust education. These programs are led by expert museum educators and dedicated volunteers, and are developed in relation to Maryland's college and career preparation standards. The Hebrew program is part of the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures and the Meyerhoff Center for Jewish Studies.
It is also affiliated with the Gildenhorn Institute for Israel Studies, giving students the opportunity to use their knowledge of Hebrew and work with academics in the fields of modern Israeli politics, Jewish history, and literature. The aim is to engage young people in schools, communities, and the home to think broadly and critically about the Jewish experience in all its diversity and complexity. At local Jewish schools, students have the opportunity to delve into their family roots and their connection to the larger history of the Jewish people. This culminates in an individual piece of art.
There are also special programs that offer students from any UMD SLLC program the chance to meet international students outside the classroom and practice their target language in an informal but structured way. In addition to a concentration, these students must select a specialization in one of six fields of practice.
