The Polonsky Prizes at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, were established 21 years ago through the generosity and vision of Dr. Leonard Polonsky and the Polonsky Foundation. These prizes give important recognition to faculty members and advanced graduate and postdoctoral scholars at the Faculty of Humanities, who have demonstrated the highest standards of scholarship in the humanistic disciplines. This year’s prize winners were chosen from a particularly strong list of contenders in the different categories, making the selection especially challenging. The outstanding quality of so many of the submissions provided the committee, consisting of leading scholars from the Faculty, with the vantage point to appreciate the impressive research being produced in all the fields of Humanities at the Hebrew University.
