Support the Center for Jewish Studies
With gratitude to our donors
The Center for Jewish Studies is very grateful to our donors for their generosity in supporting our endeavors. Those pursuing Jewish studies at Harvard University may benefit from a number of endowment and current use funds established over the years. New funds are formed continuously to support students and scholars in their pursuit for greater knowledge and achievement in this field. These may also support publications, events, other activities and administration at the Center for Jewish Studies.
Friends of the Center for Jewish Studies
In December 1984, Peter Solomon (AB ’60, MBA ’63) announced the establishment of the Friends of the Center for Jewish Studies. The Friends of the CJS provides an ongoing base of support for the Center and enables it to expand its present areas of activity. Annual support from the Friends helps shape the future of Jewish studies and sustains the Center as an influential, multifaceted enterprise at Harvard.
Establish a Named Fund
The establishment of endowment and current use funds, as well as grants, helps to support our students, faculty, research, events, publications and other activities in the field of Jewish studies at Harvard. For further information on establishing a named fund or contributing to an existing fund, please contact our office at cjs@fas.harvard.edu

Michael Zanger-Tishler
Ph.D. candidate, Department of Sociology and Social Policy
I am grateful for funding from the Lewis and Alice Schimberg Graduate Student Fellowship Fund to transcribe over 80 qualitative interviews from my research on Jewish identification and antisemitism in the greater Boston area.
Rachelle Grossman
Ph.D. candidate, Department of Comparative Literature
I am grateful for the continued support of the Center for Jewish Studies, especially in these difficult and uncertain times. With many thanks to the Edward H. Kavinoky Fellowship, I continued my research on how Yiddish publishing after the Holocaust unexpectedly gained momentum.
Nathaniel Moses
Ph.D. candidate, Department of History
Thanks to the generosity of the Center for Jewish Studies and the Anna Marnoy Feldberg Financial Aid Fund I was able to spend my summer taking intensive modern Turkish courses. With this support, I will continue to explore connected Jewish and Ottoman histories in the
early modern world.
