Lander Institute (Hebrew: מכון לנדר) was a private Jewish institution of higher education located in the Givat Shaul neighborhood of Jerusalem, Israel. Established in August 2004, it was named after Professor Bernard Lander, the founder of Touro College in New York. The institute operated until its closure in 2014.[1]
Initially functioning as an extension of Touro College, Lander Institute provided American degrees in Israel. In 2006, it attained recognition from the Council for Higher Education in Israel, allowing it to operate as an independent institution and award Israeli degrees.[citation needed]
