“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.”.

– 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.”


“We are proud to support the Hebrew University: a university for all citizens of Israel and a major participant in the global academic and research community. The Hebrew University epitomises what is best about Israel. It stands for excellence and inclusion in education which is vital for the future of the state of Israel. Its importance has never been greater in helping to feed and heal the world and we particularly loved meeting Hebrew University students on campus.”

We wish the Hebrew University Jerusalem continuing success with world class research.”
