Dear Friends,<br />

Given the current situation in the Middle East over the past few weeks,<br />

Israel needs us more than ever.<br />

I believe there's no better way to support the State of Israel than by investing<br />

in Hebrew University.<br />

Amidst these turbulent times, Hebrew University stands as a beacon of hope,<br />

offering students a world-class education and enabling economic<br />

and social mobility for young people from all walks of life.<br />

Your participation in the <strong>Scopus</strong> <strong>Awards</strong> not only supports Israel's foremost<br />

academic institution at this critical time, but exemplifies our steadfast commitment<br />

to upholding the values of equality, liberty, freedom,<br />

and respect for all individuals.<br />

If you cannot attend, please consider supporting the tribute journal<br />

or making a direct contribution to AFHU.<br />

Together, we can make a positive difference and secure a brighter future<br />

for Israel and its people.<br />

DAVID Z. CHESNOFF<br />

2024 <strong>Scopus</strong> Award Honoree<br />

“I’ve always appreciated the history of the University and the people who founded it.<br />

They made the University what it is today, a world-class institution that produces fantastic discoveries in the sciences,<br />

medicine, and computers. But I think HU’s work in the humanities is essential, too. In a country that has seen so many successes<br />

in scientific research and innovation, the humanities help to ground Israel in its tradition of democracy, Jewish learning,<br />

and education in general. It’s a very important component of Israel’s success.”<br />

David Z. Chesnoff has been practicing criminal law in <strong>Las</strong> <strong>Vegas</strong>, Nevada for the last 40 years. During that time, he has built<br />

a national practice, representing high profile clients from the business, entertainment and national and international<br />

community. Some of the practice’s clients have included Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Mike Tyson, Bruno Mars, and Suge<br />

Knight, to name a few. He has appeared in federal and state courts in over 30 of the 50 states.<br />

David graduated cum laude from Alfred University in 1976 and went on to graduate from Suffolk University Law School in<br />

1979, where he was recently awarded an Honorary Doctor of Laws Degree. He is licensed to practice in Texas and Nevada, and<br />

is active in numerous legal associations including the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the Nevada Criminal<br />

Lawyers Association, and the American Board of Criminal Lawyers. His firm, Chesnoff & Schonfeld, maintains the highest rating<br />

available from Martindale-Hubbell (AV), and the firm is consistently listed as one of the top law firms in the United States.<br />

He has worked as a legal analyst on ABC and he has been featured on other television shows including The Dick Cavett Show,<br />

The Charlie Rose Show, Larry King Show, A&E’s American Justice, Nancy Grace, 48 Hours, Forensic Files and City Confidential.<br />

David is a lifelong supporter of the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces, American Friends of the Hebrew University, and<br />

Chabad of Southern Nevada. He is also a Foundation Board member of the Boys & Girls Club of Southern Nevada and has<br />

sponsored local high school sports, little league, and various volleyball clubs in the <strong>Las</strong> <strong>Vegas</strong> Valley. He has also supported<br />

Keep Memory Alive, Shade Tree, and Make a Wish Foundations.<br />

David has been married to his wife Diana for nearly 40 years.


AUDRA MCDONALD<br />

Audra McDonald is unparalleled in the breadth and versatility of her artistry as both a<br />

singer and an actor. The winner of a record-breaking six Tony <strong>Awards</strong>, two Grammy<br />

<strong>Awards</strong> and an Emmy, in 2015 she received the National Medal of Arts from President<br />

Barack Obama and was named one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people.<br />

She won Tonys for her performances in Carousel, Master Class, Ragtime, A Raisin in the<br />

Sun, The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess and Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill, which also<br />

served as the vehicle for her Olivier-nominated 2017 West End debut. On television,<br />

McDonald won an Emmy as the official host of PBS’s Live From Lincoln Center, and is<br />

known for recurring roles on Private Practice (ABC), The Good Wife (CBS), The Good<br />

Fight (Paramount+) and The Gilded Age (HBO). Her film credits include Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast and MGM’s 2021<br />

Aretha Franklin biopic, Respect. A Juilliard-trained soprano, McDonald maintains a major career as a Grammy-winning recording<br />

and concert artist. Her latest solo album, Sing Happy, was recorded live with the New York Philharmonic for Decca Gold. She is a<br />

founding member of Black Theatre United, board member of Covenant House International, and prominent advocate for LGBTQIA+<br />

rights, whose favorite roles are those performed offstage, as an activist, wife to actor Will Swenson, and mother.<br />

JEFF ROSS<br />

Jeff Ross is a well-known comedian, writer, actor, director, and producer, often referred to<br />

as “The Roastmaster General.” As a staple on the Comedy Central Roasts, Jeff has<br />

anchored the roasts of the industry’s most famous people including Justin Bieber, Alec<br />

Baldwin, and former President Donald Trump. He has worked on various television<br />

projects such as Bumping Mics with Dave Attell and Historical Roasts for Netflix. Jeff<br />

continues to tour the country doing stand-up and bringing his own brand of speed-roasting<br />

to audiences both stateside and abroad.<br />

ABOUT THE SCOPUS AWARD<br />

Named for Mount <strong>Scopus</strong> in Jerusalem, where the Hebrew<br />

University’s first cornerstones were laid, the <strong>Scopus</strong> Award reflects<br />

the University’s highest ideals of achievement, leadership, and<br />

philanthropic engagement. Previous <strong>Scopus</strong> Award recipients<br />

include: Barbra Streisand, Leonard Bernstein, Billy Crystal, Frank<br />

Gehry, Patty Glaser, Larry King, Frank Sinatra, Steven Spielberg,<br />

Elizabeth Taylor, John Wayne and Elie Wiesel.


The <strong>Scopus</strong> <strong>Awards</strong> raises vital funds to support student scholarships<br />

and Hebrew University’s Clinical Legal Education Center.<br />

THE CLINICAL LEGAL EDUCATION CENTER AT THE HEBREW UNIVERSITY OF JERUSALEM<br />

ABOUT THE HEBREW UNIVERSITY OF JERUSALEM<br />

The Hebrew University of Jerusalem is one of the world’s most distinguished<br />

academic and research institutions. The University is located in Israel, but its<br />

work transforms our global landscape. Its students, faculty, and alumni have<br />

won eight Nobel Prizes, developed treatments for diseases, and ignited<br />

innovation that has led to more than 10,750 patents. Distinguished alumni<br />

include Israeli Prime Ministers, two female Supreme Court Presidents, as well<br />

as 25% of Knesset members, and two-thirds of Israel’s Supreme Court<br />

Justices. For over nine decades, Israel has relied on HU for leadership in every<br />

sphere and for its unwavering and unparalleled commitment to excellence,<br />

multiculturalism, pluralism, and the cause of peace. We think our founding<br />

fathers, Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, Chaim Weizmann, and Martin Buber<br />

would be quite proud.<br />
