Daniel Jeremy Silver Fellowship

The Fellowship, established in honor of the late Rabbi Dr. Daniel Jeremy Silver, Harvard Class of 1948, of Cleveland, Ohio, by his family and friends, will be awarded to an active congregational rabbi who has demonstrated exceptional intellectual and academic ability and interest, originality, and energy in the pursuit of Jewish scholarship.

The Fellowship will provide funding for one semester at Harvard. It is intended to allow the recipient to begin, continue, or complete a piece of serious research in some area of Jewish scholarship before he or she returns to congregational life. To pursue this concentrated course of work and study, the Silver Fellow will enjoy full access to the unique resources of the University, its libraries, professors, staff, and courses.

The completed online application, together with a curriculum vitae, detailed research proposal, application questionnaire, and samples of finished work, publications, and/or work in progress, is to be submitted to the Center by --. In addition, applicants are requested to provide two letters of recommendation -- at least one reference from a member of the board of directors of the applicant's congregation and one reference from an individual qualified to assess the applicant's scholarly work.
