The Alma Fellows program is an opportunity for an in-depth study of Hebrew culture, and offers those accepted into the program, people from the worlds of culture and media, artists, educators and social activists, a window into treasures and sources of inspiration from Judaism and Hebrew culture. Participants are invited to engage in dialogue with these sources, examine their values, and turn them into a spring of inspiration for artistic creation. The aim of the program is to develop the infrastructure for new Hebrew thought and creation through the connection between the unique approach to the study of Hebrew culture that is Alma, and the language of study of the traditional Beit Midrash, academia and the artist’s workshop, guided by the fundamental conviction that Hebrew culture is a dynamic work open to interpretation and change, and that creators and thinkers living and working in Israel are significant partners in the culture’s ever-evolving design.

The program is supported by Matanel Foundation.
