The Center for Jewish Studies at the State University of Bucharest

The Goldstein-Goren Center for Jewish Studies at the State University of Bucharest, Romania was established in academic year 1998 / 1999. In spite of the difficult political and economic climate prevailing in Romania, the Center developed satisfactorily during its first dozen years of existence, attracting the interest of a steadily growing number of students. Unfortunately, in 2010 a faction of the faculty tried to take over the Center and modify the direction of its activities. The Foundation had no choice but to withdraw its support. However, it has made a new deal with the Faculty of Political Science to start a program in Israel Studies. As of the beginning of 2016 we are still in the process of obtaining approval for offering a degree in Israel Studies.
