Bar-Ilan University Displays Winning Combination of Cutting-Edge Science and Jewish Values

On his first visit to Bar-Ilan University, Ambassador Daniel Shapiro was warmly welcomed by President Professor Moshe Kaveh who accompanied him on a whirlwind tour of the campus, explaining why their logo, a microscope with a Torah scroll, so fittingly represents his university's philosophy of advancing both Jewish studies and secular studies in the service of mankind. Their visit included the university's two scientific flagships - the Institute of Nanotechology, where their Scanning Electron Microscope, and Focused Ion Beam lab are used around the clock by both the university and industry; and the Gonda Multidisciplinary Brain Research Center, designed to encourage interaction among the experts from all brain-related disciplines, leading to breakthroughs in problem-solving. At the Law Faculty, Prof. Ruth Halperin-Kaddari and Atara Kenigsberg briefed Ambassador Shapiro on their impressive accomplishments in advancing women's status within the constraints of religious Jewish law. A lively roundtable with faculty and 50 impressive students on "Expanding the Israel-US Partnership in a Changing Middle East" was capped by a lunch-discussion with three BESA Center for Strategic Studies experts, who briefed the Ambassador on their views on the Middle East and the upcoming American and Israeli elections.
