Who we are
Since its establishment in 2003, the Nevzlin Center has promoted multidisciplinary research and teaching in the field of Russian and East European Jewish history, culture and heritage at the Hebrew University and among scholars worldwide.
The Nevzlin Center actively promotes international research projects designed to facilitate scholarly interaction between Israeli and non-Israeli researchers in our field and in related fields. We have cooperated, and continue to cooperate, with leading academic institutions and scholars in the former Soviet Union, across Europe, and in North America in the organization of research projects, conferences, and the publication of new research.
Created through the vision and generosity of Mr. Leonid Nevzlin and supported by the NADAV Foundation, the Leonid Nevzlin Research Center is part of the Mandel Institute of Jewish Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. We are located in the Rabin Building on the Mount Scopus campus.
