<strong>The</strong> <strong>Jerusalem</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong><br />

and the <strong>Haredi</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Jerusalem</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> was established in 1966 by then Mayor Teddy Kollek, with a mission to<br />

create an open, equitable and modern society in <strong>Jerusalem</strong>. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> has left its imprint on<br />

nearly every corner <strong>of</strong> the city, with nearly 4000 projects to its name. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Jerusalem</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong><br />

envisions a vibrant, modern, flourishing city, rich with culture, economic vitality and strong, caring<br />

communities for all its residents. We seek to create a society that responds to the needs <strong>of</strong> all its<br />

residents, which includes empowering the growing <strong>Haredi</strong> community in the city.<br />

Recognizing that only through higher education will <strong>Jerusalem</strong>’s ultra-Orthodox population be<br />

able to make a decent living and improve employment opportunities, the <strong>Jerusalem</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong><br />

decided to take the initiative to enable the establishment <strong>of</strong> a new campus for the <strong>Haredi</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>Jerusalem</strong>. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> believes that the <strong>Haredi</strong> <strong>College</strong> is critical to the community’s<br />

socioeconomic prosperity, which will narrow existing gaps with the general population.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Jerusalem</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> has taken upon itself the task <strong>of</strong> building the new college campus with<br />

friends from Israel and around the Jewish world. In doing so, the <strong>Jerusalem</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> rededicates<br />

itself to all the residents <strong>of</strong> the city.<br />
