Hebrew University


January 14, 2013


The Hebrew University of Jerusalem is a multidisciplinary institution of higher learning and research, and a scientific center of international repute; ranked among the world’s leading universities. From the hilltop of the Mount Scopus campus, the incredible panorama of Jerusalem unfolds. In the Talmud it says: "Of the ten measures of beauty allotted to the world, nine were given to Jerusalem." Medieval maps show Jerusalem as the heart of the world. Astonishingly, it remains there: the seam line where West meets East, the First World faces the Third World, and where Judaism, Christianity and Islam join and intercross.

In the photos below, you can see pics from the Rothberg International School where Wheaton students would live in suites, work out in state of the art gyms, and study with some of world's brightest international students. The campus, located atop Mt. Scopus provides wonderful views of the Old City, East Jersualem, including the new barriers demarking the West Bank, and on a clear day, the Sea of Galilee.
