If you're in Times Square, be sure to check out the Reichman University billboard at the 1500 Broadway Spectacular—strategically positioned in the heart of Times Square Plaza, “The Gateway to New York.”

This massive HD LED screen measures 56 feet wide by 29 feet high, offering 1,624 square feet of viewing space. It’s a double-sided display located five stories above the northeast corner of 1500 Broadway & West 43rd Street.

July News and Updates from AFORU

Dear Friends, Parents, and Alumni,

 I hope you're all enjoying a restful and meaningful summer.

American Friends of Reichman University recently completed the distribution of thank-you notes from students who received scholarship assistance this past academic year to our generous donors.

Reading their stories is truly inspiring. Many of these students balanced demanding reserve duty with their academic responsibilities—and still managed to succeed. Their determination is a testament to the values we all support.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who continues to stand with us—especially during this prolonged and challenging time of war.

Thanks to your support, and in alignment with Reichman University's Zionist mission, we continue to attract exceptional students, including many from Israel's top military units. They know they will be welcomed, supported, and set up for success—and you make that possible.

Looking ahead, I invite you to join me on September 15–18 at the Reichman University campus for the Shabtai Shavit World Summit on Counter-Terrorism.

This premier international event convenes leading minds in security, policy, and academia from over 65 countries to explore today’s most urgent counter-terrorism challenges. The summit provides an invaluable platform for global dialogue, reflection, and strategic innovation.

Email me if you’d like to attend: leslie@aforu.org.

Warm regards,

Argov Fellows Delegation to Taiwan

The Argov Fellows Program in Leadership and Diplomacy traveled to Taiwan for a fascinating delegation organized in collaboration with Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Argov Program aims to train Israel’s next generation of leaders by combining in-depth theoretical knowledge with practical tools in the international arena. The goal of the delegation was to gain firsthand exposure to Taiwan’s complex geopolitical situation, deepen our understanding of its history, culture, and challenges, and lay the groundwork for future cooperation between Israel and Taiwan.

During the delegation, Reichman University and Raphael Recanati International School students explored Taiwan’s security, innovation, and policy landscape; met with senior representatives from the National Security Council, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Taiwan’s cyber defense unit, and visited the national semiconductor industry—one of the most important economic powerhouses in the world. They also met with young ambassadors and held a meaningful meeting with Israel’s representative in Taiwan, Maya Yaron.

In addition to the diplomatic meetings, the fellows took the time to learn about Taiwan’s rich history, culture, and heritage—and of course, enjoy the unique local cuisine. From the other side of the world, they were surprised to discover just how much Taiwan and Israel share—in spirit, in challenges, and in the will to collaborate. This was an enriching, inspiring experience, hopeful for a shared future.
