Greetings from Our Chairman

OLD NEWS

For us, it's hardly news.

It's gratifying to see headlines everywhere about Israeli innovation and entrepreneurship -- but for TAU's American Friends, they're no surprise. In fact, our support puts us in the center of them.

This week, New York Times columnist David Brooks called Tel Aviv "one of the world's foremost entrepreneurial hot spots" with a "tradition of free intellectual exchange and technical creativity.

We understand that only too well. Just as Tel Aviv is modern Israel's vibrant heart, Tel Aviv University is its heartbeat. With our help, TAU has become an indispensable partner in the country's scientific and technological success.

Right now, as the rest of the world is discovering TAU's research, scholarship and real-world influence, make a gift that will be especially meaningful. Continue to help TAU lead the way.
