The Jerusalem Studies Community has been established with the aim of engaging Ibn Haldun University students in examining the past and present of the Palestine-Israel issue, conducting work that contributes positively to the future of Palestine, drawing attention to the injustices concerning Jerusalem, and disseminating authentic information through programs that contribute to resolving the Israeli issue. This community endeavors to elevate the discourse around Jerusalem, which has been relegated to a mere subject of consumption, from impassioned yet superficial rhetoric to tangible, field-oriented work. It aims to contribute to the literature in this field, considering our religious and historical connections with Jerusalem, and seeks to foster awareness and consciousness first within Ibn Haldun University and subsequently within the broader society regarding injustices worldwide, especially centered around Jerusalem, by fostering an understanding of these issues.
The Jerusalem Studies Club plans and organizes activities within the following areas in alignment with its established goals:
Organizing Educational Programs: Developing educational programs focused on Jerusalem.
Research and Analysis: Conducting readings, analyses, and discussions on various aspects of Jerusalem through books, articles, and scholarly works.
Hosting Events with Experts: Arranging panels, symposiums, and conferences featuring experts in the field of Jerusalem studies.
