Dear Friends, Supporters, Parents, and Alumni,
Please enjoy this month’s newsletter. It has been a very busy time with many activities taking place in the US and Israel.
Given the current climate on US campuses, I want to remind everyone that The Raphael Recanati International School at Reichman University is a great option for young people looking to start their university experience or continue on to their graduate degrees.
Now more than ever, Jewish families are facing an important decision as they select a college where their child will be in a safe and positive environment. Reichman University provides this along with an outstanding academic education. Here are some highlights:
Our programs are completely in English.
Reichman University students graduate with a BA or BSc in just three years.
This vibrant learning environment is enhanced by 2,000 classmates who come to Reichman University from 90 countries around the world, with over 300 lone soldiers studying for full degrees.
A Reichman University degree opens doors. Reichman University graduates are highly sought after in the job market and are accepted into top universities for MA and PhD degrees worldwide.
Reichman University offers a large array of extracurricular activities including numerous clubs, community service opportunities, JLIC monthly Shabbat dinners, and trips among others.
Reichman University placed number one in student satisfaction in quality teaching for four consecutive years in a nationwide survey conducted by the Israel Council of Higher Education.
RRIS staff provides a “safety net” for international students, aiding them to acclimate to their new environment in Israel.
First year students are assigned a “peer counselor”, a veteran Israeli student who helps them navigate through their first year.
Reichman University is Israel's first private university.
Reichman University has more than 120 exchange programs with leading universities from around the world.
Reichman University is proud to present its dormitory complex with 750 new, high-quality, fully equipped residential units in the three 13-story buildings located on the beautiful Reichman University campus.
Below, check out our upcoming online information sessions to learn more about these programs.
Lastly, we are thrilled to be hosting Colonel Miri Eisin, Director of the Institute for Counter Terrorism on March 5th in NYC. You don’t want to miss this event!

Warmest wishes,

Dear Friends, Supporters, Parents, and Alumni,
Reichman University and American Friends of Reichman University mourn the loss of Israel Prize winner and former Education Minister, Prof. Amnon Rubinstein.
Founding President, Prof. Uriel Reichman, remembers him as a dear friend and visionary, highlighting his significant impact on Israeli academia and higher education accessibility.
Prof. Rubinstein played a vital role in establishing the constitutional foundations of the Basic Laws, reinforcing Israel's identity as a Jewish and democratic state.
His diverse contributions spanned law, academia, legislation, and advocacy for Israel's national and universal Zionist character.
As Dean of the Harry Radzyner School of Law and Vice President of the University, Prof. Rubinstein left an enduring mark.
In October 2022, he established the Rubinstein Center for Constitutional Challenges at Reichman University, addressing present-day constitutional issues.
The funeral will take place on Monday, January 22 at 1:00 PM at Kiryat Shaul cemetery, with the procession beginning at Reichman University at 11:00 am.
Prof. Amnon Rubinstein will be remembered for his profound influence on various aspects of Israeli society.
May he rest in peace, Baruch Dayan HaEmet.
