At the beginning of January, a delegation of US Jewish Studies scholars in solidarity with Israel, led by Prof. Steven Fine from Yeshiva University, visited Sapir Academic College.
During the visit, the president of the college, Prof. Nir Kedar, presented the uniqueness of Sapir and talked about the challenges that the college and the region are facing these days.
We were delighted to host them and it warms our hearts to meet the scholars who came to show their solidarity with Israel and Sapir Academic College.
Hope for a fruitful academic cooperation.
Thanks to JCRC for organizing this visit to Israel.
