Taub Center for Israel Studies at New York University
[Intro in Hebrew]
The Taub Center for Israel Studies was established
in 2003 with the support of the Henry and Marilyn Taub Foundation, to
advance the study of Modern Israel: its recent history, society and
politics, together with the history of the Zionist movement and the
Yishuv.
NYU's pre-eminent position as a center of instruction
and scholarship in Jewish history and thought, Hebrew language and
literature, and Middle East Studies provides a natural setting for the
development of Israel Studies. The Center is a part of the Skirball
Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies at NYU’s Faculty of Arts and
Science, which offers a range of undergraduate and graduate courses on
Israeli history and society.
