The master's program in Jewish Philosophy and Religion promotes the independent, analytical handling of texts in the original language, the historical-critical examination of religious phenomena and the development of creative solutions in order to approach complex philosophical and religious-scientific questions. In terms of topics, the course covers a broad spectrum of core issues of Jewish philosophy and religion from antiquity to the present – ​​with a special focus on the early modern period. Linguistically, the expansion and deepening of Hebrew language skills is a special focus.
The master’s course is interdisciplinary: there are collaborations with the Institute for Religious Studies or the Philosophical Seminar at the University of Hamburg. In the non-university area, contacts were established with the Jewish community and the Institute for the History of the German Jews (IGDJ). In addition, the Maimonides Center for Advanced Studies – Jewish Skepticism (MCAS-JS), which has existed since October 2015, is affiliated to the institute, which offers students further attractive perspectives through the regularly changing presence of international visiting scholars.
