Abstract
In the summer of 2013, the Schusterman Center for Israel Studies at Brandeis University ran its tenth annual Summer Institute for Israel Studies (SIIS). Scholars from a variety of disciplines, academic ranks, universities, and locales came together for an intensive two-week program at Brandeis and an additional ten-day study tour of Israel. In 2013, as in previous years, the Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies (CMJS) surveyed the fellows from all previous cohorts. The study documents the continued success of SIIS in preparing fellows, providing follow-up opportunities for learning, and supporting the community of learners created by the Institute. The report also highlights the ways in which the work of the fellows influences their students and colleagues.
