Support the ÉBAF


The friends of the École biblique et archéologique française de Jérusalem

The École biblique et archéologique française de Jérusalem is supported by three Friends associations, created to maintain the living link between the ÉBAF and its network and friends and former students, and to support its actions.

IN FRANCE: Les Amis de l’École biblique et archéologique française (AAEBAF)

Founded in 1971, the Association is currently chaired by Mr. Alain Rémy, former Ambassador and Consul General of France in Jerusalem (2005–2009). Members of the Association receive a biannual newsletter, Nouvelles de Jérusalem, and are invited to attend two conferences each year in Paris, focusing on biblical or archaeological topics. The Association is authorized to issue tax-deductible receipts, allowing individuals to benefit from income tax reductions (IR), and companies from corporate tax reductions (IS), in accordance with current French regulations.

LOOKING AHEAD TO THE OCTOBER 2021 ACADEMIC YEAR

The 2020-2021 academic year is coming to an end at the School with the last academic council meeting that took place this Friday, May 28.

It has been a very special year, in which very few students were able to travel to Jerusalem, but which still allowed us to provide 80% of the courses via Zoom.

Life went on, as shown in the last issue of the Nouvelles de Jérusalem, published after Easter.

As the conditions of access to Israel are becoming easier day by day, we are confident that we will be able to resume normal operations in October.

The program is on line and we have filled up with registrations for this new year.


MEETING WITH FRIENDS OF THE ÉCOLE, IN TORONTO

This Monday, the Director of the École Biblique, Jean Jacques Pérennès, met with the members of the board of the Canadian Friends Association of the École Biblique in Toronto (Canada). Composed of former students and/or researchers, this Association, created in the 1990s, supports two particular areas of the École’s life: the library and scholarships for Canadian student-researchers (see Dona Harvey’s article in Nouvelles de Jérusalem, No. 98, Autumn 2019). The EBAF Director’s visit to Canada provided fresh and more lively news of the École’s current life and also provided an opportunity to take stock of the development of our collaborations. According to Jean Jacques Pérennès, the affability of the exchange demonstrated to what extend these donors are first and foremost friends. A supplementary meeting was held Friday morning in Montreal for the members of the Association living in Quebec.
