Since its founding in 1994 as Israel’s first non-government funded university, Reichman University has transformed the State of Israel’s educational landscape by fostering competition, moving beyond governmental limitations, and making our students our main priority.
In doing so, Reichman has become the premier social sciences university in Israel. At the heart of Reichman University is a group of educators and administrators dedicated to supporting a strong and vibrant State of Israel.
With 8,300 students from over 90 countries enrolled in undergraduate and graduate degrees in Hebrew and English, and over 14,000 alumni, Reichman is committed to educating the next generation of leaders for Israel and the world.
Emphasizing an entrepreneurial approach with an insistence on excellence, Reichman University is an international hub for leaders in industry, government, academia and media.

AFORU Mission Statement
The American Friends of Reichman University invests in and promotes innovations in higher education that strengthen Israel and the Jewish People.
Human capital is Israel’s greatest natural resource, which leads AFORU to support initiatives that cultivate the State’s next generation of public and private sector leaders and equips them with the skills, knowledge, and habits to compete globally. In the policy arena, Israel must act proactively and with a far reaching, practical vision. AFORU supports knowledge development and events concerned with the long term needs, opportunities, and challenges of Israel’s international and domestic policy.
The futures of Israel and the Jewish People are inextricably bound together. The greater the involvement of Jews in Israel and around the world with one another, the stronger each will be. In recognition of this fact, AFORU supports programs that open the doors of college and graduate school to non-Israelis through English language curriculum.
