Visiting lectures program
Dear Colleagues!
we are pleased to offer you the program of our Lectures Service.
Please note the changes in the program's operating conditions, see below.
The Sefer Center organizes visiting lectures: leading experts in the field of Jewish Studies, teachers, postgraduates and graduates of Jewish universities are being delegated to deliver lectures in various educational institutions in the CIS and Baltic countries, as well as in Jewish communities, Jewish schools, educational institutions, and lecture halls.
Lecture tours are organized based on requests from local universities and communities. The application should specify which lectures are desirable, what is the audience composition, the number of listeners, and the preferred number and time of lectures.
The Sefer center selects lecturers on various topics.
It is the responsibility of the inviting party to pay lecturer's honoraria, provide accommodation and travel expenses for the lecturer (in cases where it is a course of lectures), and issue the lecturer a certificate (on a letterhead, signed and stamped) on the lectures provided (number, topic, number of participants).
Interested organizations are invited to apply for lectures via Sefer Center e-mail.
Applications are accepted basing on the financial capacity of the Center and the schedule of lecturers.
The list of speakers and suggested topics of lectures is given below. If you don't find the topic you are interested in, please let us know and we will find a suitable lecturer.
