About the Hebrew University of Jerusalem

For over one hundred years, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has been home to extraordinary individuals—those who question, those who challenge conventions, and those who innovate, lead, and break new ground time and again. It all began with a pioneering flame in the heart of Jerusalem, when a remarkable group of intellectual giants, including Albert Einstein, Chaim Nachman Bialik, Chaim Weizmann, and Martin Buber, united to realize a shared vision: the founding of the Hebrew University.

Together, they established a pioneering academic institution dedicated to cultivating research, scientific, public, and social leadership for the State of Israel and all of humanity. Since that vision became a reality, the University has held excellence in research and teaching as its highest value. Over the years, the Hebrew University has become Israel’s leading institution of higher education, consistently ranked among the top 100 universities in the world (according to the Shanghai Index).

The University remains a premier source of knowledge and groundbreaking research across a vast range of disciplines, nurturing generations of leaders, scholars, and thinkers. The Hebrew University is spread across six campuses: Mount Scopus, Edmond J. Safra (Givat Ram), and Ein Karem in Jerusalem; the Faculty of Agriculture, Food, and Environment in Rehovot; the Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Beit Dagan; and the Interuniversity Institute for Marine Sciences in Eilat. Our 25,000 students represent the future of Israeli society, leading innovative research for the benefit of Israel and the world.
