Established in 1998, ISMI partnered with the Donald A. Tam Institute for Jewish Studies at its formation later that year. ISMI's objectives are to build and strengthen an understanding of modern Israel for Emory students and to inform the general public, which are accomplished through collaborative undertakings with other Emory University units and the sponsorship of visiting professors, lectureships, programs, and conferences. For the general public, ISMI engages in outreach to the media, general community, civic organizations, and educators in their desire to learn about modern Israel. ISMI is not an academic department nor does it confer a degree or award scholarships.
ISMI achieves its objectives through:
* The annual appointment of a visiting professorship in Israeli Studies
* Support for and development in Hebrew and Yiddish languages and literatures
* Sponsorship of lectures, colloquia, symposia, and conferences
* Collaborative engagement in economic and social science programs with local, regional, and national organizations
* Management of summer internship awards underwritten by former Emory students
* Cooperation with Israeli academic research institutes
* Conduct of summer workshops for pre-collegiate teachers
