Our Mission

Beth Mardutho: The Syriac Institute seeks to promote the study and preservation of the Syriac heritage and language, and to facilitate opportunities for people to pursue the study of this ancient legacy globally.

We aim to serve the academic community and the heirs of the Syriac heritage — (in alphabetical order) the Antiocheans, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Maronites, Melkites, St. Thomas Christians, Syriac Catholics, and Syriac Orthodox, transcending denominational diversity.

We carry out innovative educational projects that globalize Syriac studies, making it available through the Internet in every university, classroom, library and home.
