The J. Richard and Dorothy Shiff Family 2012 Shalem Summer Internship

The Shalem Center Summer Internship Program accepts outstanding undergraduate students and recent graduates for an eight-week program at the Shalem Center’s Jerusalem headquarters.  The 2012 Shalem Center Summer Internship has been generously endowed by The J Richard and Dorothy Shiff Family (Toronto) Programme. 

Interns assist in the research and writing of books and articles produced by Shalem scholars. The program also features regular seminars with Shalem fellows and guest lectures. Recent past lecturers have included Shalem Center Senior Vice President and Koret Distinguished Fellow, Daniel Gordis, winner of the National Jewish Book Award, journalist and New Republic correspondent Yossi Klein Halevi, Yoram Hazony, historian and U.S. Ambassador Michael Oren, Shalem Center President Daniel Polisar, journalist and author Saul Singer, New York Times Israel correspondent Ethan Bronner, and former Prisoner of Zion and renowned human-rights activist Natan Sharansky.

Along with occasional day trips to sites of historical and social interest, the program provides a unique opportunity to combine practical work experience at a leading Israeli research institute with exposure to the most critical issues facing Israel and the Jewish people today.

The program also features periodic social events. Participants must commit to being present for the entire program. An honorarium is provided upon completion of the program.
