David Hartman Center for Intellectual Excellence
Launched at the start of the 2014-15 academic year, the David Hartman Center for Intellectual Excellence trains and cultivates the next generation of committed intellectual leaders capable of generating a renaissance in Jewish life through their innovative ideas and applied scholarship.
Outstanding young scholars from Israel and around the world focusing on the fields of Jewish Studies, religion, philosophy, political science, and law are provided with intellectual training, mentorship, and financial means that will enable them to mine their disciplines for ideas capable of addressing the central challenges facing contemporary Jewish and religious life.
Programs of the David Hartman Center
The Advanced Beit Midrash challenges and expands the intellectual horizons of exceptional students at the start of their doctoral studies through intense text-based study of classical Jewish sources. Participants benefit from the tutelage and mentorship of leading Shalom Hartman Institute scholars and faculty.
Maskilot, a three-year program for outstanding women, empowers women scholars in Jewish studies to become confident leaders through a course of study situated in an environment aimed at cultivating women who are confident with their intellect and who have been trained to be at the forefront of changing the academic discourse.
David Hartman Center Fellows
David Hartman Center Fellows are post-doctoral and doctoral students training at the Hartman Institute. These scholars come to Shalom Hartman Institute of North America to learn how to apply their ongoing academic research to issues of contemporary importance, and to gain a deeper understanding of the evolving North American Jewish communal landscape.
The David Hartman Center serves as a feeder for the Institute's research center, ensuring the establishment of the next generation of Hartman scholarship and the influx of new ideas into the Institute and the greater Israeli society. All participants will apply the values, ideas, and methodologies that they learned at the Hartman Institute to their work, further spreading the Hartman Institute's values and worldview. The intellectual leaders cultivated through the Center will be capable of generating a renaissance in Jewish life in Israel and around the world.
