Founded in Sydney in May 1936 by Ruby Rich (later Ruby Rich-Schalit MBE), the Friends of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem was established for the benefit of the Hebrew University. Our aims and objectives are:
- To bring the name of the Hebrew University to the fore, raising awareness within the Jewish and general Australian community of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and its academic and research excellence
- To raise funds and encourage bequests in support of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, both for specific projects and for the general purposes of the University
- To provide a medium for the exchange of information and literature between Australia and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem
- To encourage and assist Australian students wishing to undertake study at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem
Excitement is building in Jerusalem for the Hebrew University’s 75th Annual Board of Governors meeting which will take place from June 8th through June 13th.
In honour of the 75th anniversary of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s Board of Governors meeting, it gives us great pleasure to offer an exceptional pre-board program. Included in the program, commencing on Thursday June 7th, 2012, will be the premier performance of Georges Bizet’s famous opera Carmen, conducted by Israeli Maestro Daniel Oren at Masada.
