olson conf. flier 

The Center for Israel Studies, established in 2007, is an expression of the longstanding relationship between Yeshiva University and the land and state of Israel . The Center nurtures excellence in interdisciplinary scholarship and the teaching of Israel throughout history and across disciplines, with a keen focus upon the modern state.

The Center for Israel Studies supports research, conferences, publications, museum exhibitions, public programs and educational opportunities that enhance awareness and study of Israel in all of its complexities. In its short history, the Center has already become a national and indeed an international forum for engagement of the political, social, scientific, economic, historical, religious and cultural significance of Israel in the world community

AN ENDURING COMMITMENT

YU President Richard M. Joel“The Land of Israel and the State of Israel are central to the future vision of the Jewish people and have always been central to the reality of Yeshiva University.”
