“Nothing has given me such delight as the proposal to establish a Hebrew University in Jerusalem,” Albert Einstein wrote in his diary more than a century ago—a century of cutting-edge research and innovation at Israel’s leading academic institution that Einstein, alongside many other luminaries, helped establish.

In this new podcast series, The View From Mt. Scopus, Hebrew University’s past, present, and future are explored. From malaria prevention and smart greenhouses to constitutional proposals in the young State of Israel and cancer research, tune in for an informative and inspirational experience.
