The Torah u-Madda Journal is devoted to the interaction between Judaism and general culture. It publishes articles and, occasionally, review essays that either (1) address the question of Judaism’s relationship to general culture, whether in the broad sense or in the context of a specific discipline or field or (2) exemplify the integration of Jewish teachings and general knowledge in the treatment of a specific topic.  Most articles are historical and interpretive essays on ancient, medieval and modern rabbinic thinkers  or on topics they addressed in Jewish philosophy, law and ethics, politics, and biblical interpretation. Some deal with the sociology of various Jewish communities with respect to their relations with the surrounding culture.

The Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary, an affiliate of Yeshiva University, is a leading center for the study of Talmud and numerous other areas of traditional Torah study, as well as for professional training of rabbis and educators. Yeshiva University features academic research and scholarship and provides a dual undergraduate curriculum in religious and secular studies. Besides its several undergraduate schools, the university comprises the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and professional and graduate schools in law, psychology, social work, Jewish education and administration, and academic Jewish Studies.
