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,

Leslie
