Prof. Uriel Reichman to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Jerusalem Post Conference

In recognition of his many years of contribution to Israeli society — through education, entrepreneurship, and driving change — Prof. Uriel Reichman will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Jerusalem Post’s upcoming Annual Conference. This honor celebrates not only the power of one individual to effect change, but also his impact on Israeli society through faith, vision, and an unwavering commitment to the public good. In the Israel of the early 1990s, the idea of ​​establishing a private university sounded like a fantasy. But Prof. Uriel Reichman believed it was not only possible, but essential to reshape the landscape of Israeli higher education. Today, 31 years later, Reichman University is a symbol of academic excellence, modern Zionism, and social entrepreneurship — a living testament to the power of a single individual with a compelling vision and a profound sense of public mission.

"Remember and Never Forget": The 15th Delegation of the Reichman University Student Union to Poland

The 15th delegation of the Student Union of Reichman University returned from an emotional and meaningful journey to Poland. It was a significant and profound journey following the history of the Jewish communities, the Holocaust, and the commitment to remembrance. During the powerful journey, the students traced the stories of the flourishing Jewish communities that once lived in Poland before the war, communities that thrived, created, and blossomed, until they were brutally destroyed in the Holocaust. They visited the extermination camps of Auschwitz-Birkenau, Majdanek, and Treblinka, walked through the ghettos of Warsaw and Krakow, and were exposed to the harsh testimonies of life and death during the darkest period in human history. This year, more than ever, the words "Never Again" took on profound meaning. Alongside our reflection on the past, thoughts of our brothers and sisters who are still held captive in Gaza accompanied us throughout the journey. Remembrance is not only a historical lesson, but also a reminder of our commitment to continue preserving our resilience as a people and as a society. Never again!

Thoughts of our brothers and sisters still held captive in Gaza accompanied us throughout the journey. The feeling was that remembrance is not only a historical lesson but also a call to continue preserving our strength as a people and as a society. During the trip, Omer Israel, a second-year student, visited the childhood home of his grandfather, Moshe Wurtzel z"l, a Holocaust survivor, in Krakow. "Standing in front of the house where my grandfather grew up, the place from which he was taken to the Krakow ghetto, was a moment when I felt the circle of life closing," shared Omer. "A moment when my grandfather stood there as a frightened child, and now I stand in his place as a free man in a Jewish state. It was a feeling of victory and a commitment to continue his legacy and pass the story on." The journey has ended, but the memory and commitment to preserve the story and derive lessons from it will continue to accompany us always.
