We recently received a letter from Shira to tell us what an amazing experience HU was. She loved it so much she is returning to live here.
“My name is Shira and I recently finished my freshman year at Rothberg International School (International part of Hebrew University). I am from Toronto Canada, and this was my [...]

See how Hebrew U law students are helping others – this is a very meaningful and uplifting video that will give you some great insights into the University.

To start off the Passover break the students of Rothberg got the amazing opportunity to hike through the Galilee for 4 days.
