During his time as an associate professor at the University of Michigan, Yaron Eliav has taught a number of courses within the Department of Near Eastern Studies. Aside from his work as an associate professor, Yaron Eliav is a member of the Association for Jewish Studies (AJS).
A professional organization serving educators and researchers in Jewish Studies at universities in the United States, the AJS sponsors a lectureship program designed to facilitate learning and scholarly communication at higher education institutions. Featuring more than 300 lectures on Jewish culture, politics, religion, and history, the AJS Distinguished Lectureship Program includes some of the foremost scholars in the field. Scholars travel to universities across the country, delivering talks on topics ranging from women in Jewish life and Rabbinic literature and culture to modern Jewish thought and theology. The lecture fee paid by a university is donated by the speaker directly to the AJS, thereby enabling the organization to continue offering the program.
