The history of the Hebrew University is intrinsically intertwined with the establishment of the State of Israel and the development of modern Zionism. As one of the world’s most respected academic institutions, its influence on Israeli society and culture is without parallel. It is for these reasons, among many others, that I am truly humbled by the University’s decision to award me an honorary doctorate, and I look forward to visiting the campus later this year to take part in the ceremony.
