The Department of Bible, Hebrew, and Near Eastern Studies (BHNES) is founded upon three propositions:

The study of Tanakh is central to Judaism.
The Bible and its interpretative afterlife have much to contribute to our understanding of the many ways in which Jews and Jewish texts have interacted with the rest of the world, from biblical through modern times.
The Hebrew language has long nurtured the national identity of the Jewish people.
From the towering classics on the Jewish bookshelf ”Tanakh, the Mishnah, the Rambam's Mishneh Torah ”to the modern expressions of Jewish culture such as Bialik and Agnon and contemporary writers such as Yehuda Amichai and Aharon Appelfeld, Hebrew has been both the medium and the message of a vibrant soul of a people.
An appreciation for the civilizations and languages of the Near East enhances one's appreciation of both Tanakh and the Hebrew language.
Mission Statement
Yeshiva College students are singularly suited and uniquely challenged to study Tanakh intensively while bringing to bear the breadth of knowledge gained from a liberal arts education.
At Yeshiva College, Bible is a multidimensional discipline.
It begins with an effort to understand the Bible in its historical context, as illuminated by the history of the Ancient Near East and its linguistic and physical culture.
It continues with the study of the Bible as it has been read and interpreted throughout Jewish history, from second temple texts to the rabbis of the Talmud to the classical medieval commentators, down to the present.
The Yeshiva College Bible faculty, immersed in traditional approaches and trained in contemporary scholarship, brings these mutually enriching aspects of the study of Tanakh together in a fashion rarely available elsewhere.
Together with Stern College and the Syms School of Business, we offer a full suite of Hebrew language classes, beginning with elementary Hebrew (1010) and continuing through Intermediate Hebrew I and II (1020 and 1030).
More advanced students can choose from courses such as Israeli Society & Language, Biblical Hebrew, and more.
We also offer as electives specialized courses in biblical Hebrew and its Semitic linguistic environment and classes in modern Hebrew literature and conversational Hebrew.
BHNES offerings include courses on the literature, culture, and languages of the Near East that expand our students horizons and challenge them to see Tanakh and the Hebrew language through broader historical and linguistic lenses.
