The Israel Institute is a small, independent nonprofit organization based in Washington, DC, focused on advancing rigorous scholarly study of modern Israel. It operates as a nonpartisan, non-advocacy entity and collaborates with leading universities to support objective research and education on Israel. Through cross-institution partnerships, the institute helps connect academic inquiry with broader audiences seeking understanding of Israel's contemporary society and politics. In 2019, the organization announced details of its 11th Visiting Artists Program, which provides Juilliard and UCLA students opportunities to engage with prominent Israeli artists. Positioned within the higher education landscape, the institute serves universities, students, and scholars pursuing neutral study and exchange on Israel, maintaining a stance distinct from advocacy groups while promoting scholarly dialogue.
