==Early life and education==
Foer was born in Washington, D.C., the son of Albert Foer, a lawyer and president of the American Antitrust Institute, and Esther Safran Foer, a child of Holocaust survivors born in Poland, who is now the director and CEO of the Sixth & I Historic Synagogue.〔 Foer is the middle son in this Jewish family; his older brother, Franklin, is a former editor of ''The New Republic'' and his younger brother, Joshua, is a freelance journalist. Foer was a "flamboyant" and sensitive child who, at the age of 8, was injured in a classroom chemical accident that resulted in "something like a nervous breakdown drawn out over about three years," during which "he wanted nothing, except to be outside his own skin."〔
Foer attended Georgetown Day School and in 1994 traveled to Israel with other North American Jewish teenagers in a program sponsored by Bronfman youth fellowships.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=What We Learn )〕 In 1995, while a freshman at Princeton University, he took an introductory writing course with author Joyce Carol Oates,〔Margo Nash. ("Learning to Write From the Masters" ), ''The New York Times'', 2002-12-01. Retrieved 2008-10-29.〕 who took an interest in his writing, telling him that he had "that most important of writerly qualities, energy."〔Robert Birnbaum. ("Jonathan Safran Foer: Author of Everything is Illuminated talks with Robert Birnbaum" ), ''Identity Theory'', 2006-05-26. Retrieved 2008-10-29.〕 Foer later recalled that "she was the first person to ever make me think I should try to write in any sort of serious way. And my life really changed after that."〔 Oates served as the advisor to Foer's senior thesis, an examination of the life of his maternal grandfather, the Holocaust survivor Louis Safran. For his thesis, Foer received Princeton's Senior Creative Writing Thesis Prize.
After graduating from Princeton, Foer attended briefly the Mount Sinai School of Medicine before dropping out to pursue his writing career.〔Anemona Hartocollis. ("Getting Into Med School Without Hard Sciences" ), ''The New York Times'', 2010-07-29. Retrieved 2010-07-30.〕
