What Parents Say About Hebrew University of Jerusalem
“My son chose Hebrew University for international relations, and watching him fall in love with Jerusalem over his first year was the most meaningful thing we've experienced as a Jewish family. He davens at the Kotel on Friday nights, he's made Israeli friends through his dorm, and he's getting an education at one of the world's truly great universities. We enrolled him in Israel Prepaid's Diamond Plan when he was five — by the time he arrived, $110,000 in guaranteed coverage was waiting. That kind of security changes how you think about your child's future.”
“Hebrew University was always the dream — the school where Einstein donated his archives, where Israeli Supreme Court justices studied, where Jewish history and world-class academics meet in one place. My parents enrolled me in the Israel Prepaid Diamond Plan when I was seven, before I even knew what a university was. By the time I started my biochemistry program on Mount Scopus, the tuition was fully covered. I tell every Jewish kid I know: your parents can make this possible before you ever apply.”
