We exist to connect the passions of americans to the talent at the hebrew university of jerusalem, one of the world's most distinguished academic and research institutions. In addition to raising awareness for the university, AFHU's fundraising efforts help attract and retain outstanding faculty, build teaching and research facilities, and provide scholarships and fellowships to israel's next generation of leaders. AFHU's support helps the university advance human understanding in myriad fields including agriculture, astronomy, energy, psychology, medicine, and more.

And we will never stopbecause knowledge moves us.
