Gradel Video Conferencing
In 2002 the Gradel Family, spearheaded by our BOT and British Friends committee member, David Gradel launched an exciting new video conferencing project designed to connect British students with leading Israeli scholars. The project, run by Bar-Ilan's Lookstein Center for Jewish Education in the Diaspora harnesses the most advanced video conferencing technology on the market thus allowing students from Jewish Secondary Schools in Britain to study with scholars from Bar-Ilan University in real time. Due to its success, in connecting Bar-Ilan with the world, video conference classes now also take place with students in Argentina, the former Soviet Union and North America.

Made possible through the largesse of Dr. Sami Shamoon, President of the Sephardic Federation, this Professorship is at the forefront of brain research and discovery. The incumbent of the chair, Professor Moshe Abeles, is the Director of the Gonda- Goldschmeid Brain Research Centre. Under Prof. Abeles' able guidance and leadership, the Sami Shamoon Professorship and the Brain Research Center have already begun to delve into such vital areas as neurobiology and psychology, neurophysiology and mathematics, and neurophysiology and linguistics.

The Wolfson Charitable Foundation
The Foundation is a leading supporter of new technologies that will eventually enhance the quality of life. Recognising the value and relevance of nanotechnology they have enabled the University to acquire powerful analytical equipment in the fields of Electron Microscopy and Raman Spectroscopy, among others.

Programme for the Research of the Moussaieff
Cuneiform Tablet Collection
In addition to Dr Shlomo Moussaieffs Centre for Kabbalah, which this year has grown to 13 semester-long courses, Dr Shlomo Moussaieff with his programme for research of his Cuneiform Tablet collection enables Bar-Ilan scholars to study and research Babylonian tablets that date back to the second millennium BCE. Once researchers decipher these ancient Sumerian and Accadian documents, they hope to translate them into English and publish them in a special scientific edition.

The Wohl Centre
Dr Maurice Wohls vision and generosity has provided a highly distinctive, state- of- the-art convention centre for prestigious University and Community events. Designed by the renowned architect Daniel Libeskind, who is also designing the new World Trade Centre site, this signature building on Bar-Ilans new North Campus will serve as a lasting memorial to Vivienne Wohl zl, who unfortunately was not privileged to see the completion of this project that was so close to her heart. Laden with symbolism and spiritual significance, the body of the building resembles an open book, the angled windows are the labyrinth of letters and the building as a whole links the dynamism of knowledge and the unifying role of faith. The 4,000 square metre complex includes an auditorium, seminar rooms, a cafeteria, and a lobby.
