The Kripke Center is dedicated to facilitating scholarly activity in the areas of religion and society in the form of research, publications, conferences, seminars, symposia, lectures, and fora. Special attention is given to promoting understanding between and among faith communities, focusing especially on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The Kripke Center’s primary audience is the academic community, but its scholarship and services are available to all who seek them.

The Center is named in honor of Rabbi Myer and Dorothy Kripke.
