Michigan State University: Jewish Studies Summer Program

Highlights

  • Understand the relationship between different parts of Israeli society.

In this program, you’ll learn first-hand about the history, politics, society, and culture of Israel – while living onsite in vibrant Jerusalem.

As a participant, you will take an MSU faculty-led seminar along with a Hebrew University Rothberg International School course that compliments the seminar: The Emergence of the Modern State of Israel.

Course Components

  • Class composed of other international students from various countries
  • MSU-exclusive seminar with study tours
  • Assigned readings
  • Meetings with community leaders
  • Field trips and off-site learning opportunities

You can find more details about the program on the MSU Jewish Studies Summer Program website.

You’ll be invited to participate in a wide array of trips, tours, and activities offered by the Office of Student Life. From a tour of the Old City to a trip to the Dead Sea to checking out the local festivals, you’ll build your own unique impressions and memories of Jerusalem and Israel.

While residing in HebrewU dormitories with other international and Israeli students, you’ll have a chance to form new friendships and get involved in campus life. A team of multilingual Israeli students, called madrichim, is also there to help you adjust to your new surroundings and give you tips on things to do. Learn more about student life at HebrewU.
