Main research activities
The Centre of Jewish History and Hebrew Studies organises the MA programme specialising in Jewish History and Hebrew Studies. The Centre for Jewish History and Judaism functions as a department of the Faculty of History. It offers educational and research programs focused on in-depth knowledge of the history, civilization and culture of Jewish communities, including those in Romania. In the case of the city of Iasi, the establishment of such a research center was all the more necessary, as the Jewish ethnic group constituted for a long time almost half of the city's population and had a special contribution in the economic, social and cultural life. The research of the history of the Jews, by reference to the broader framework of the issues of universal history or national history, is done with respect for truth and tolerance. Concerns concern the characteristics of the Jewish diaspora, aspects of immigration and emigration, economic, social or ethnocultural perspectives, political and legal interpretations. The fundamental mission of the Centre for Jewish History and Judaism is to coagulate the energies available at the university, academic, political or administrative level, in order to develop solid research programs and train future specialists. The centre aims to act as a link between the university-academic environment, political decision makers, governmental or non-governmental structures.
