The Hebrew University Jewish Studies Scholars Association brings students together through Jewish Studies, Biblical Archaeology, Bible and the Ancient Near East, academic exchange, and mutual support.
Founded by students during the 2023 academic year and formally launched on March 27, 2025, HUJI-JSSA supports connection, study, scholarly writing, and academic continuity.
It functions as a recognized Student Cell within the Hebrew University student organizational framework.
An interdisciplinary scholarly network established by HUJI-JSSA. It connects students working in Bible and the Ancient Near East, Biblical Archaeology and the Ancient Near East, and related fields for discussion and collaborative learning.
Our work includes study sessions, meet-and-greets, scholarly presentations, academic networking, and space for students to develop research and writing alongside one another.
For 2026–2027, the Student Cell seeks 30 student signatures for annual renewal. Participation details will be posted here when available.
Open to all Hebrew University students interested in Jewish Studies, Biblical Archaeology and the Ancient Near East, and/or Bible and the Ancient Near East. Students from other degree programs are welcome.
Graduates can continue their scholarly connections through JINESA, the separately governed international association developed from HUJI-JSSA’s founding vision.
