2025-26 Frankel Institute Fellowship: Jews & Media

In today’s media-saturated world, understanding the impact of media on Jewish life and culture is more important than ever before. In recent years, scholars of Jewish Studies have broadened their scope beyond traditional textual analysis to encompass the study of various media, from the historical artifacts of manuscripts and scrolls to books, newspapers, magazines, recordings, film, television, and digital technologies. This fellowship year at the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies will explore the intersection of Jewish Studies and Media Studies and the relationships between Jews, Jewishness, Judaism, and media.
