Established in 1984 under the Interdisciplinary Minor Program at the University of Central Florida, the Judaic Studies minor created a series entitled "Distinguished Lecturers". In the early 1990's, the Judaic Studies minor separated from the Interdisciplinary Minor Program to become its own Judaic Studies Program at UCF. Distinguished Lecturers series is still continuing in 2008.
