About Us

BHI is committed to supporting the education of Judaic scholars, educators, and communal professionals who exemplify excellence in their chosen fields. Students enrolled in TU's Judaic Studies graduate programs have access to BHI's need- and merit-based scholarship and fellowship opportunities.

• Master of Arts in Jewish Studies (MAJS)
• Master of Arts in Jewish Communal Service (MAJCS)
• Master of Arts in Jewish Education (MAJE)
• Post Baccalaureate Certificate in Jewish Education

For more information on all the degree programs, dual degrees, and graduate certificates affiliated with the Baltimore Hebrew Institute, please contact Jill Max, Director, BHI. 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.
