He then spent two years schlepping around the Middle East, including one year in Jerusalem as a graduate fellow at the Shalem Center, where he pursed research on, inter alia, pedagogical strategies employed by strictly-Orthodox (Jewish) religious seminaries; nine months of Arabic study in Ramallah/Birzeit and Damascus; and four months volunteering in Neve Shalom/Wahat al-Salam’s School for Peace, the only intentionally bi-national community in Israel. Zach is also a Beinecke Scholar. His research interests include identity in Palestine in the late Ottoman and early Mandate periods.
