Jewish Studies "on Edge"

This intensive summer school equips graduate students in Jewish Studies with the knowledge and skills to critically engage with a field that is both under pressure and rich in innovation. Participants will explore how Jewish history, culture, and scholarship respond to moments of crisis while also gaining hands-on exposure to cutting-edge methodologies, technologies, and interdisciplinary approaches. Through close interaction with leading international scholars, students will strengthen their research profiles, academic resilience, and professional networks. The program fosters critical reflection on academic freedom, ethics, and the evolving role of scholars in society. These learning experiences are directly relevant for careers in academia, education, cultural institutions, and policy-related fields where advanced analytical and cross-cultural expertise are essential.
