Welcome to the School for Basic Jewish Studies

How do biblical narratives shape our understanding of contemporary conflicts? Can Talmudic reasoning enrich ethical debates in the digital age? What is the connection between Jewish philosophy and the Zionist enterprise? And how does Hebrew literature reflect and shape personal and national identity? The School for Basic Jewish Studies offers an in-depth, multidisciplinary academic experience that blends rigorous scholarship with contemporary interpretation and historical analysis with pressing modern questions. Our courses provide tools for critical thinking and diverse perspectives, fostering an open and inspiring dialogue with the world of Jewish thought and ideas.

We invite you to join us on an academic journey that expands knowledge and deepens understanding, bridging intellectual depth with the challenges of the present day.
