The Einstein Legacy Project

The Einstein Legacy Project

ALBERT Einstein was a true genius. Over a century ago, this visionary transformed the future when his General Theory of Relativity was published in 1915. Three years later, Einstein cofounded a university in Jerusalem. Established 30 years before the Jewish state in the midst of World War I, The Hebrew University became a central pillar and silent engine behind Israel’s economic, social, and academic prowess and a potent force in the birth of a nation. The Hebrew University has produced one third of Israel’s prime ministers and presidents, 9 out of 12 Supreme Court justices, and 40% of the country’s civil scientific research. More importantly, the Hebrew University has brought important technologies to the world, like Mobileye, the anti-collision systems in cars; the leading cancer and Alzheimer drugs; and drip irrigation, conserving exorbitant amounts of water and improving crop yields globally.

Einstein died in1955 while at Princeton, but his spirit remained in Jerusalem. Upon his passing, Einstein bestowed his estate and legacy to the Hebrew University. To honor Einstein’s legacy, the Canadian Friends of Hebrew University have embarked on a project to “find and empower the next generation of brilliant minds on the planet,” those who have the potential to become the world’s next Einsteins.

Co-founded by Rami Kleinmann and Elan Divon, The Einstein Legacy Project (ELP) is being led by an international executive committee chaired by Canadian philanthropist, Judy Tanenbaum, and Saban Entertainment’s cofounder and award-winning director and producer, Shuki Levy. Additional members include E! Entertainment founder, Larry Namer; European Space Agency Telecommunications Director, Amnon Ginati; acclaimed food blogger and culinary anthropologist, Tori Avey; along with a bevy of ambassadors, business leaders, and influencers from around the world.
