Dear Academic and Administrative Staff Members,
Yesterday evening, the University’s Board of Governors approved my appointment as the next President of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. I am proud and deeply moved by the privilege of leading our wonderful university as it enters its 100th year. It is a great honor and an immense challenge.
Dear Members of the Hebrew University Community,
Below are the decisions regarding exams:
Dear Hebrew University Community,
We hope that you and your loved ones are healthy, and we extend our support during these difficult times.
Dear Faculty Members Currently Abroad,
I hope you are well during these challenging times, and that your families back home are also doing well.
Given that you are currently unable to return to Israel, and therefore your stay abroad is being extended, please note that you may use your KKM (research and professional development funds) to help cover the costs of extending your stay abroad. This is the current solution. If your KKM funds are insufficient, please be in touch with your deans.
To the Hebrew University community—greetings,
We hope that you and your loved ones are safe and healthy, and we send our heartfelt strength to you during these challenging days.
Due to the current security situation, we have decided to extend teaching and learning via Zoom at least until the end of this week. (The faculty will notify you in cases where Zoom instruction is not possible, such as during clinical teaching and laboratory work.)
Dear members of the Hebrew University community,
The State of Israel is going through a turbulent period, marked by dramatic events with significant implications for the country's future. In the background, the difficult and painful war continues, hostages remain in Gaza, and there are ongoing repeated attempts to alter the constitutional system.
To all members of the Hebrew University community,
The ongoing war and the timing of calendar events make this period especially challenging for students, academic staff, and administrative staff alike. The upcoming week, during which the Arab-Palestinian community marks the Nakba, is particularly sensitive. Therefore, we find it important to remind everyone how delicate the shared fabric of respectful relations within our community is.
Dear friends,
We assume most of you have heard that the Israel Prize Committee for Sociology has decided to award the prestigious prize to our colleague, Prof. Eva Illouz from the Department of Sociology and Anthropology. Minister of Education Kisch announced that he refuses to grant her the prize due to a petition she signed a few years ago.
