College of Jewish Studies, Heidelberg | HfJS

About

The Hochschule für Jüdische Studien Heidelberg is a point of dynamic scholarly discussion that incorporates all facets of Jewish religion, history, cultures and societies. While the proximity to the historical heritage of Ashkenaz provides decisive impetus for both academic and religious work at the HfJS, its interest invariably extends beyond to all areas of geography and chronology as to consider Jewish cultures at large: in the past and present; within a self-reliant Judaism; within the Diaspora; and likewise within the land of Israel.
