The 2024–25 fellowship year is devoted to supporting new research at the intersection of Jewish studies and the study of health, medicine, and the body.  The cohort of scholars will look at illness health in Jewish life and thought through a range of lenses: examining institutions and social systems, histories of medicine, gender, literary discourse, and social sciences using data drawn from antiquity to the present.
