The Yitzhak Rabin<br />
Fellowship in Post<br />
Graduate Democracy<br />
Studies<br />
The Yitzhak Rabin Foundation recently<br />
partnered with The Hebrew University of<br />
Jerusalem to establish the Yitzhak Rabin<br />
Fellowship in Post Graduate Democracy<br />
Studies at the university. Generous support<br />
from the Rabin Foundation created this<br />
prestigious research fellowship, which<br />
constitutes a living legacy to an Israeli<br />
leader whose efforts served to advance<br />
democracy. “It has been 20 years since<br />
Rabin was assassinated. His legacy can only<br />
continue to thrive if we educate Israel’s<br />
youth on democracy,” said Professor<br />
Reuven Hazan.<br />
The first Rabin Fellow is Ofir Hadad,<br />
who graduated Magna Cum Laude<br />
from Hebrew University’s Amirim<br />
Interdisciplinary Honors Program and<br />
received an LLB in Law. Hadad, who has<br />
been mentored by Professor Menachem<br />
Hofnung, chairman of the Department<br />
of Political Science, studies multiple<br />
aspects of Israel’s immigration policy<br />
regarding Palestinians, taking into account<br />
the nation’s security policies and its<br />
commitment to human rights.<br />
