About SEFER
Sefer — the Center for University Teaching of Jewish Civilization — was established as a non-profit organization in 1994.
Sefer’s goals are to support academic research in Jewish studies and to improve the academic quality of teaching Jewish disciplines in universities and programs across the former Soviet Union; to provide academic assistance and a wide variety of study opportunities for students and young researchers; and finally, to create and widely distribute publications focusing on academic Jewish study.
Since its founding — and with the support of an international group of philantropic partners — Sefer has become the central umbrella organization for Academic Jewish scholars, students and programs in the countries of the FSU and beyond.
