The Center for Jewish History (the Center) is home to the world’s largest and most comprehensive archive of Jewish history and culture outside Israel. Its five in-house partner organizations hold over five miles of archival documents, 500,000 volumes, and thousands of artworks and artifacts spanning 5,000 years. The NEH Scholar in Residence Fellowship supports high-level original research resulting in scholarship based on these collections. Past NEH Scholars have made significant discoveries and published numerous times in fields from Yiddish literature to early American religious thought. Renewed support from NEH would fund three further NEH Scholars (one fellowship each academic year for three years) within the project period of 1/1/2022-6/30/2025, ensuring that the Center can continue to offer a home to high-achieving humanities scholars through its most distinguished fellowship.
