Exciting academic news from Israel today! A new university is opening its doors for its first academic year in the Galilee, near Kiryat Shmona, a northern Israeli city that was heavily affected by the recent war.
Tel-Hai University (named after the nearby historic site of Tel Hai, where a famous battle took place in 1920) was formerly a regional academic college and has now officially attained university status.
Let’s wish the students and faculty at Tel-Hai every success! May this new institution attract young people to the North, strengthen local communities, and contribute to the recovery and prosperity of one of Israel’s most beautiful regions!🇮🇱
