The Israeli Friends of the Weizmann Institute of Science

The Israeli Friends of the Weizmann Institute of Science was established in 1973, by prominent economists and industrialists in a wide variety of fields in Israel. From its inception the overriding goal of the Association was to strengthen ties between the Weizmann Institute and the Israeli public, and to strengthen support for the cutting-edge research conducted by Weizmann Institute scientists.
Association members visit the Weizmann Institute campus regularly, and receive official briefings about current programs and future plans. They are instrumental in raising the funds necessary to maintain the Institute's world-class level of scientific research, as well as establishing grants, prizes, and scholarship programs that enable the scientists of tomorrow to begin their professional training.
The Association of Friends plays a pivotal role in the support network of the Weizmann Institute, together with the other Association groups in Europe, North America and South America. Through the Science Club of the Israeli Friends, the Association sponsors myriad events and projects throughout the year for the leaders of scientific enterprise throughout the country, always to further the goals and achievements of the Weizmann Institute.

Global Hebrew Haritage

The Global Route of Jewish Heritage

Jewish heritage is an integral part of European and Global history and culture. Much of it is rooted in Europe, with a story of migrations, persecutions and precariousness; but also of exchanges, humanism and a profusion of mutual enrichment.

Dates and countries all over the World

Archaeology of Israel
Biblical archaeology
The archaeology of Israel is the study of the archaeology of Israel, stretching from prehistory through three millennia of documented history. The ancient Land of Israel was a geographical bridge between the political and cultural centers of Mesopotamia and Egypt. Despite the importance of the country to three major religions, serious archaeological research only began in the 15th century.

Presentation

The European & Global Jewish heritage mainly includes:

archaeological sites, old synagogues and cemeteries, ritual baths, Jewish quarters, monuments and memorials,

archives and libraries,

specialised museums to study, to protect and to publicise Jewish life and its religious and daily artefacts.

The main goals of the European Route of Jewish Heritage are to preserve, to promote and to keep alive Jewish heritage, to develop tourism around these sites and to make Europeans aware of the cultural richness brought by the Jews to Europe.

The European Day of Jewish Culture and the European and Global Route of Jewish Heritage have been promoted by an alliance of several Jewish and non-Jewish organisations, including tourist agencies as well as volunteer organisations. The AEPJ Association, is formed by 2 organisations, B’nai B’rith Europe (BBE) and the Red de Juderias de España (Network of Spanish Jewish Quarters).
