In partnership with a growing consortium of funders that care about deep, multi-faceted education about Israel, the Intiative was proud to honor Murray Galinson’s legacy by naming the Initiative after him.

It was beautiful setting to come together to honor Murray’s commitment to the State of Israel and his belief in the importance of scholarly academic discourse. Because of this newly named Initiative, there will be greater opportunities for faculty and students to experience multi-faceted education about modern Israel. Through subjects as diverse as art, film and law to science, technology and innovation, students on San Diego university and law campuses will have the opportunity to learn about Israel beyond the headlines, slogans and sound bites.
