Help Keep Hebrew Scholarship Free for Everyone
Every article published in the European Hebrew Journal (EHJ) is available free of charge to readers around the world.
We believe that excellent scholarly research should never be limited by expensive subscription barriers or publication fees. Knowledge should remain accessible to researchers, students, educators, clergy, and independent scholars everywhere.
The European Hebrew Journal is an international, peer-reviewed, Open Access academic journal dedicated to advancing research in Hebrew, Jewish, and Semitic Studies.
Unlike many academic journals supported by large universities or commercial publishers, EHJ is an independent scholarly initiative.
Our Editors, Editorial Board members, Academic Ambassadors, and peer reviewers generously volunteer their time, expertise, and experience because they believe that academic knowledge should remain open, independent, and freely available to everyone.
Keeping an independent Open Access journal free for both authors and readers, however, requires ongoing financial support.
