The Helmsley Charitable Trust donated $3 million toward a new science building at the Tel-Hai University of Kiryat Shmona in the Galilee, as reported exclusively by eJewishPhilanthropy. The new building will house research teams whose work will range from biotechnology and agriculture to engineering, nutrition and environmental science.
In his reporting, Justin Hayet highlighted Helmsley’s longstanding commitment to strengthening medical and academic institutions throughout Israel. “[It is] critically important for Israel’s security and strength to attract and retain residents of the North,” Helmsley Trustee Sandor Frankel told eJewishPhilanthropy.
