Judaic Studies became an independent program at the University of Michigan in 1976 and was renamed the Jean and Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies in 1988 in recognition of the Frankel Family’s generous support, which, along with assistance from the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit, allowed the Center to expand its program and widen its range of activities.

Today, Judaic Studies alumni are present throughout the United States in a wide range of careers, including education, business, law, medicine, the rabbinate, and Jewish communal service.

The Frankel Center for Judaic Studies is always happy to welcome alumni back to campus. Alumni are encouraged to stay connected with the Center by contacting Matt Weingarden, Public Relations Coordinator, at or calling (734) 763-9047. The Frankel Center appreciates hearing about good news, career changes or when alumni are going to be in the area.
