Greetings from Our Chairman

ISRAEL'S SECURITY = YOU + TAU

Your support is keeping Israel safer. That's a fact.

During these dangerous days, it's gratifying to know how vital TAU's research is to Israel's defenses — and to her very survival. Read "Lifting the Veil of Secrecy" for a rare and fascinating look at the vital role TAU plays in enhancing Israel's safety and military edge.

You make that possible — and you can take pride in knowing you're making Israel's defenses stronger.

But today, to sustain this critical security-related work, the university we care so much about needs our help.

Right now, whatever support you are able to give will be especially meaningful.
