daughter of a Holocaust survivor'?"
¨CAndr¨¦a Seligmann Silva,
Director
Andr¨¦a, a Brazilian
filmmaker living in Amsterdam, begins to explore she and her siblings'
impulse to leave their home country. From hours of conversation, she

autobiographical film depicts one woman's search through her own history
of movements.
Critically-acclaimed

host an interactive panel discussion on the intricate identity of the
Jewish migrant. Authentic Middle Eastern food will be provided by Sababa

Masters in Jewish-Christian Relations, Cambridge, England
The course offers you a unique opportunity to familiarize
yourself in depth with Jewish-Christian relations from a
variety of disciplinary perspectives (including history,
sociology, political, cultural and biblical studies)
and
acquire a Master’s degree from one of the world’s foremost
universities that will significantly enhance your career
prospects. Committed to the highest academic standards,
this rigorous scholarly programme is offered by the
University of Cambridge in conjunction with the Centre for
the Study of Jewish–Christian Relations (Woolf Institute).
The MSt is open to applicants of all ages and cultural,
academic and professional backgrounds.
www.woolf.cam.ac.uk/cjcr
Residential and e-learning option
You can pursue the course residentially in
Cambridge or via e-learning. Students in
both modes undertake the same reading,
access the same material and complete the
same assignments. E-learners can join all
plenary lectures, workshops and research
seminars via the Internet.
Entry requirements
You will ordinarily need a good first degree,
though not necessarily in a relevant
discipline if you can demonstrate sufficient
subject-related competence. Applicants who
find they do not meet the MSt entry
requirements may want to build up a
stronger profile by taking the Introduction
to the Study of Jews, Christians and Muslims
in contemporary Europe in conjunction
with the University of Cambridge Advanced
Diploma in the Study of Religion that is
currently in the process of being approved.
Programme structure
In your first year, you take four taught
papers (Foundations, Scripture, History,
Culture) each assessed by one 4,000-word
essay. In the second year, you focus
exclusively on your 15,000-word
dissertation. You may also choose to spend
part (or all) of your second year working on
your dissertation at one of the Czech,
German, or Polish universities with whom
we already have, or are currently in the
process of establishing, Erasmus agreements.
If you are thinking of pursuing a relevant
PhD after the MSt, the Faculty of Divinity
may recognize the MSt as the first year of
study towards your doctorate.
Fees
The fees are £4900 altogether for both
years. You will also need to pay college
fees of ca. £350-400. Bursaries are
available depending on academic merit
and financial circumstances.
The Master of Studies (MSt) in The Study of
Jewish-Christian Relations

sociology, political, cultural and biblical studies)
and
acquire a Master’s degree from one of the world’s foremost
universities that will significantly enhance your career
prospects. Committed to the highest academic standards,
this rigorous scholarly programme is offered by the
University of Cambridge in conjunction with the Centre for
the Study of Jewish–Christian Relations (Woolf Institute).
The MSt is open to applicants of all ages and cultural,
academic and professional backgrounds.
www.woolf.cam.ac.uk/cjcr
Residential and e-learning option
You can pursue the course residentially in
Cambridge or via e-learning. Students in
both modes undertake the same reading,
access the same material and complete the
same assignments. E-learners can join all
plenary lectures, workshops and research
seminars via the Internet.
Entry requirements
You will ordinarily need a good first degree,
though not necessarily in a relevant
discipline if you can demonstrate sufficient
subject-related competence. Applicants who
find they do not meet the MSt entry
requirements may want to build up a
stronger profile by taking the Introduction
to the Study of Jews, Christians and Muslims
in contemporary Europe in conjunction
with the University of Cambridge Advanced
Diploma in the Study of Religion that is
currently in the process of being approved.
Programme structure
In your first year, you take four taught
papers (Foundations, Scripture, History,
Culture) each assessed by one 4,000-word
essay. In the second year, you focus
exclusively on your 15,000-word
dissertation. You may also choose to spend
part (or all) of your second year working on
your dissertation at one of the Czech,
German, or Polish universities with whom
we already have, or are currently in the
process of establishing, Erasmus agreements.
If you are thinking of pursuing a relevant
PhD after the MSt, the Faculty of Divinity
may recognize the MSt as the first year of
study towards your doctorate.
Fees
The fees are £4900 altogether for both
years. You will also need to pay college
fees of ca. £350-400. Bursaries are
available depending on academic merit
and financial circumstances.

Short Courses on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Israeli – Palestinian Programmes:
Political Science and Middle East Studies
Israel, 2011
Dear Dr. Adam Shear,
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is never far from anyone's mind these days, and while the mainstream media can certainly provide some of the more important facts and figures, the only way to truly develop a better understanding of the conflict's background and complexities is to visit the area and meet the people behind the headlines.
With this in mind, the Galilee International Management Institute has designed a programme aimed at providing firsthand exposure to various aspects of the situation, delving deeply into the issues through classroom lectures, meetings with representatives of Palestinian and Israeli NGOs, a visit to the West Bank (including a visit to a Jewish settlement), meetings with people from Arab villages in Israel, a panel discussion with representatives from Israeli political parties across the political spectrum, and much more.
The programme’s academic director is Dr. Mahmoud Yazbak, Senior Lecturer for the Department of Middle Eastern History, University of Haifa. Lectures will be given by Palestinian and Israeli academics and other experts, and will offer a balanced view of the situation in the region.
The programme is intended for students of history, political science and Middle East studies, as well as professionals interested in the Middle East, and registration for both 2011 sessions – summer and winter (July 4-28, 2011 and December 28, 2011 – Jan 9, 2012) – is now open. We would appreciate you bringing this programme to the attention of the students at your university. A limited number of tuition scholarships will be available to qualified candidates. Students who are interested should contact the Programme Director, Mrs. Shiri Salant Fein, at: ssalant@galilcol.ac.il
