Greetings from Our Chairman

CELEBRATE 100!
Imagine! Tel Aviv -- home to TAU and the first Hebrew-speaking city established in modern times -- will celebrate its 100th anniversary in just a few months.

What better way to celebrate this special centennial than by investing in Israel's leading center of higher learning?

That's why we're launching our American Friends of Tel Aviv University Centennial Scholarship Campaign. Our goal is 100 new scholarships to launch Tel Aviv's second century - and we're already one-third of the way there.

Please help put us over the top!
