Brandeis University today announced the creation of an Institute in Advanced Jewish Studies underwritten by a grant from Philip W. Lown.
Mr. Lown, a Fellow of Brandeis University and prominent leader in Jewish causes throughout the nation, has provided funds to establish an academic program of Advanced Jewish Studies on a scholarly level, unrelated in any way to theological indoctrination. The Institute will provide a center of independent research on all branches of Judnis studies. It will encourage this research by offering fellowships to scholars of all faiths working on projects approved or commissioned by the Philip Lown Institute.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
