Harvard Summer Program in Jerusalem, Israel
Harvard Summer Program in
Jerusalem, Israel
Jewish history from antiquity to the present
Faculty: Jay M. Harris and Shaye J. D. Cohen
This program has been canceled, but may be offered in the future.
Jerusalem—sacred city and modern metropolis—is one of the world’s most enchanting cities, where one encounters almost simultaneously the ancient, the medieval, and the modern.
To experience Jerusalem—central in different ways to Jews, Christians, and Muslims—is to experience history in all its complexity. At the same time, Jerusalem is about more than history and conflict. It is pulsing with all the chaotic vibrancy of a great modern city.
This program is ideal for students who would like to:
- Study ancient and modern Jewish history in Jerusalem
- Broaden their perspectives on global politics and the creation of national narratives
- Spend a summer getting to know one of the Middle East’s most beautiful cities
