The Shalom Hartman Institute (SHI) is a prominent Jerusalem-based Jewish research and education organization founded in 1976 by Rabbi David Hartman in Jerusalem, Israel. It serves as a leading center for advanced Jewish studies, pluralistic Jewish education, and training Jewish leaders worldwide. The institute is dedicated to strengthening Jewish communities globally by promoting liberal values, interfaith dialogue, intellectual rigor, ethical inquiry rooted in classical Jewish texts, and the preservation of Israel's democratic character. SHI operates campuses in Jerusalem and North America, offering intensive seminars, fellowships, online courses, and flagship initiatives like the Rabbis and Cantors in Residence program and the David Hartman Center for Public Scholarship. It publishes books, articles, and resources on Jewish ethics, Israel-diaspora relations, and religious pluralism, influencing Jewish education and discourse globally. By bridging traditional Jewish wisdom with contemporary challenges, SHI aims to combat extremism, foster inclusive Jewish identities, and enhance intercommunal dialogue among Jews, Muslims, and Christians. Its work extends to policy advocacy and public engagement supporting democratic principles in Israel and beyond.
