– Professor Albert Einstein (Press Interview 1929)

“If I had to pick one partnership that is most emblematic of our Foundation’s identity and values it would be the Pears Scholarships Initiative at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. It links Jewish values, Israeli expertise and the skills and knowledge of the students themselves to create a truly global cohort of leaders who can create lasting change in their own countries. I am proud and humbled by every Pears scholar I meet and it is a privilege to support them.”
