The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, perhaps the world's most recognized center for Judaic Studies, was established in 1925. Presently, more than 23,000 students actively pursue scholarship in various fields at the University's scenic Mt. Scopus campus overlooking Jerusalem's Old City. Jews, Christians, and Moslems from big cities, small villages, and kibbutzim (collective farms) learn together to maintain the University's diversity and unique character.

With several areas of focus, the Hebrew University impacts nearly every segment of the Israeli population. At the Ein Kerem campus, Hadassah Hospital serves as a training ground for Israel's physicians and medical researchers. The School of Agriculture in Rehovot is currently working with several Arab countries to facilitate economic cooperation and development in the Middle East, while students and faculty at the Truman Institute strive to introduce peaceful solutions to political and historical dilemmas in the region.
