U-M Frankel Fellows Probe Israeli Diversity (Transcription)

The new fellows at the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan will explore the diversity of Israeli cultures during the upcoming academic year. "The 2016-2017 Frankel fellows are scholars who represent the cutting-edge of academic work on Israel," said Shachar Pinsker, this year's head fellow. Jeffrey Veidlinger, director of the Jean & Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies, which includes the institute, said, "Frankel fellows will help us under-stand how we can better understand and appreciate the diversity of the human experience in Israel".
