“My experience has taught me that people tend to underestimate the tremendous ability within them, and yet mankind has the power to make a difference to ensure the betterment of our collective tomorrow. The test of leaders lies in understanding this truth. Their role is to set the goals and pave the routes to free the power and wisdom within all of us. Leaders should govern less and serve more"- Shimon Peres READ MORE... about Happy Birthday Shimon!

Improving the World in Different Ways

Submitted by Noah Pascoe on Mon, 2013/03/04 - 10:38am

A month back I wrote a piece regarding the versatility of Albert Einstein. Though we remember him for his scientific revelations, he was also a diverse man with hobbies and passions galore. When we came up with the “Searching for the Next Einstein” contest we made sure to emphasize that the ideas can pertain to ANYTHING.

In the first 3 weeks of the contest, so many great ideas have come our way. I want to share 5 different ideas that people like yourselves have already submitted that reflect 5 very different area of life:

Submitted by Noah Pascoe on Mon, 2013/02/25 - 3:30pm

“I find I'm so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it is the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend, and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope." -Ellis Boyd “Red” Redding, The Shawshank Redemption READ MORE... about A Tribute to an Excellent (and Diverse) Man

"A Few Things I Learned From My Summer at Hebrew University" by Danielle Klein

Submitted by Kari Zalik on Mon, 2013/01/21 - 2:44pm

I don’t honestly believe that one can eat enough hummus when in Israel. It’s highly possible, albeit mildly (read: greatly) disgusting, that I ate at least a full container of hummus per day. I am truly proud, and not at all ashamed, that I ate a legendary amount of hummus this past summer, which my friends continue to mock me for. But in my opinion, it was the necessary thing to do.
