The Jewish Agency announced today that 50 scholarships are again available this year to qualified American Jewish young men and women between the ages of 18 and 25, for a year’s study in Israel in the fields of Judaica and Hebraica at the Haylm Greenberg Study Institute. The scholarships, which are sponsored by the Agency’s Department of Education and Culture, include tuition and full maintenance in Israel. The students are expected to pay their own transportation to and from Israel.
The program is open to young persons involved or interested in Jewish education and community work. Named in honor of the late American Zionist leader, Hayim Greanberg, the Institute also accommodates an additional 50 students annually from other parts of the world, mainly from Latin American countries.
The Institute has also been added to the Israel Study Program of the Student Zionist Organization, along with the Hebrew University, the Bezalel School of Art and the Rubin Academy of Music. Students in this program may choose seven months of study at one of the schools or work in his professional field of interest in the cities or development areas.
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.
