Hornstein Students Go International!

Not only does Hornstein attract students from across the globe --next year we will have students from Israel, Russia, Ukraine and Australia--but international seminars are also an increasingly important part of the Program. This past winter, students participated in the annual Foster Seminar in Israel on Contemporary Jewish Life, and soon after, a group of second-years traveled to Ukraine. There, they studied resurgent Jewish life in the cities of Kiev and Dnepropetrovsk.
