The Hebrew University Faculty of The Humanities
 

"Perhaps more than any other discipline, the humanities stress creativity, critical thinking, and honest deliberation. For centuries it has formed the foundation of any well-rounded education." – Professor Menahem Ben-Sasson, President, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem

Hebrew University’s top-ranked Faculty of Humanities, the largest of HU’s seven Faculties, is an outstanding center of learning and interdisciplinary research in Israel and throughout the world. Its innovative approach creates a vibrant discourse between cultures, genres and historic periods in specialized academic and administrative units, including Archaeology, Education and Jewish Studies, among others.
