Institute of Semitic Studies
The ''Institute of Semitic Studies'' (ISS) is a nonprofit independent research institution based in Princeton, New Jersey dedicated to the academic study of Semitic (and other major Afroasiatic) languages and cultures. Its work seeks especially to highlight the contribution of Afroasiatic peoples to world civilization, in general, and Western culture, in particular. It was founded in Princeton in 1984 and then incorporated in 1985 and is currently directed by Ephraim Isaac a Harvard trained scholar and peace activist. The Institute also releases a bi-annual linguistically focused international scholarly journal entitled the Journal of Afroasiatic Languages〔(Home )〕 (JAAL) published by the Red Sea Press.〔(JOURNAL OF AFROASIATIC LANGUAGES
Volume 5, Number 1, Summer 2012Institute of Advanced Semitic and Afroasiatic Studies )〕 In addition to its academic journal, it also recently launched an academic monograph series called Afroasiatic Studies in collaboration with the Red Sea Press. The Institute of Semitic Studies is the first independent research institute that focuses on Semitic and Afroasiatic studies within the United States.
==Major Achievements and Work==
Among the Institute’s major achievements to date is the sponsorship of the 1989 symposium on the Dead Sea Scrolls. According to the Institute's website, "This symposium was editorialized in the Washington Post as a commendable peace-making effort among bitterly quarreling scholars.".〔(Institute of Semitic Studies )〕 In 1992, the Institute sponsored the Second International Congress of "Yemenite Jewish Studies"〔Parfitt, Tudor. The Road to Redemption: The Jews of the Yemen, 1900-1950. Leiden, Netherlands: E.J. Brill, 1996, p. 9.〕 where the Congress brought together over 200 scholars and many interested individuals from Israel, Europe, the United States, and the Middle East. A congratulatory message was given by the future US President Bill Clinton and the then Prime Minister Shamir of Israel.〔The proceeding of the congress was published in 1999 by Ephraim Isaac--Judaeo-Arabic Studies: Proceedings of the Second International Congress of Yemenite Jewish Studies co-editorYosef Tobi, University of Haifa & Institute of Semitic Studies, 1999.〕 Also, the Institute supports a Princeton Theological Seminary project to make the Dead Sea Scrolls publicly available in their original Hebrew and/or Aramaic, with new English translations. It supports the University of Pennsylvania Sumerian Dictionary Project. In 1988, it co-sponsored with the Univ. of Pennsylvania the 35th International Congress of Assyriology.
