Donor Recognition
Thanks to the generous contributions of our donors, Canadian Friends of the Hebrew University is ensuring Hebrew University remains one of the leading learning institutions in the world.
Donors who go above and beyond are proudly recognized on the historic grounds of the university at our Board of Governors’ meeting held annually in June.

The Wall is located at the southwestern tip of the Mount Scopus campus, beautifully overlooking the Old City and West Jerusalem. Inscribed on the wall are the names of the donors, state or country of residence.

The Wall of Trustees is located in the Mount Scopus Forum on the wall closest to the outdoor pedestrian exit in the direction of the Faculty of Social Sciences, and on the wall adjacent to the passage leading to the Faculty of Law.

Wall of Endowed Chairs
Listed on the wall of Endowed Chairs all professorial chairs at the Hebrew University with the name of the chair and donor, country and date of establishment. The Wall is located in the Mount Scopus Forum adjacent to the entrance to the Administration Building.
Physical Facilities
Plaques for endowed physical facilities are almost always located on or near the facility that has been named. The size, location, and style of the plaque depend upon the facility itself. A plaque for the donation of a garden might be a large engraved stone, while donor recognition for an entire building could take the form of the donor’s name engraved on the outside wall of the building. Plaques for lectures halls and rooms are usually placed in the corridor outside the facility.
