The Graduate Program in Folklore and Folk Culture is one of its kind in Israel. As such it draws students who want to acquire a comprehensive training towards a research and teaching career in the field of folklore in Israel. The scholarly profile of the Graduate Program is also compatible with the various research projects active at the Folklore Research Program at the Mandel Institute of Jewish Studies, many of which also attract scholars from universities in Israel and abroad. Teachers and students develop together an innovative discourse of study and research.
