CJC Summer Program The courses in the Summer Program are lecture-based and aim to allow Chinese students to understand Jewish culture by discovering similarities and differences with their own, and to enhance communication between the Chinese and Jewish communities. Jewish texts will be presented as academic supplementary resources; but the major emphasis will be on the lectures. These courses are not intended as religious study. Rather, they offer a comparative, multi-perspective analysis of Chinese and Jewish philosophy.
