In 1999, a memorandum of understanding was signed by the Provost of Case Western Reserve University and the Rector of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. According to the terms of the agreement, regular faculty members of Hebrew University, in the capacity of Rosenthal Visiting Fellows, will offer semester-long courses at CWRU. The intention is to bring to campus high level expertise in areas of Jewish Studies that would not otherwise be available. In return, special arrangements are being made for CWRU students to spend either a semester or a year studying at the Rothberg International School of Hebrew University in Jerusalem. In addition, CWRU students may spend a part of the summer at the Hebrew University for ulpan and/or other summer courses or special seminars arranged to suit the needs of their study program.

To date, there have been four Rosenthal Visiting Fellows:

Spring 2000 - Professor Shalom Sabar

Fall 2000 - Professor Isaiah Gafni
Sol Rosenblum Professor of Jewish History, HU

Spring 2001 - Professor Rachel Elior
