The Baltimore Hebrew Institute serves as a hub for TU's Judaic Studies graduate
students. By working closely with student representatives, BHI supports and promotes
student life through a variety of special programs, social activities, and events
jointly-sponsored with Hillel. Alumni of Baltimore Hebrew University are welcomed
as Towson University alumni affiliated with the BHI.
Inspired by the Jewish value of study for its own sake (Torah l'shma), the Institute
hosts an array of Judaic studies programs, including continuing education classes,
Hebrew language courses, scholarly lectures, and symposia in order to encourage
literacy, dialogue and understanding for and among people of all traditions. In
addition, the BHI serves as a bridge between Towson University and the broader
community interested in higher Jewish education.
