“Hebrew University and its friends are making my dream possible. Without your help, I would not have been able to succeed in my classes.” 

American-born Ben always dreamed of making aliyah to Israel.  When he realized his dream through a youth program, Ben immediately enlisted in the IDF. Although immigrants are required by Israeli law to only serve two years, rather than the three expected of Israeli born citizens, Ben decided to serve the full three years. At the conclusion of his service in the IDF, Ben enrolled in the Rothberg International School’s Mechina program.
