The Center for Judaic Studies and Contemporary Jewish Life is a home for academic study of Jewish history, culture, and civilization at the University of Connecticut.

Established in 1979, the Center brings together students, scholars, and the broader community through coursework, research, lectures, and cultural events. Its mission is to foster research and scholarship in Judaic studies, enrich undergraduate and graduate education in Judaic studies as part of a liberal arts education, and provide resources for continuing education and community service.

Housed within the UConn College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the Center works closely with the Department of Literatures, Cultures, and Languages to support undergraduate and graduate education in Hebrew and Judaic Studies.
