The Rutgers Hillel Center for Israel Engagement mourns the loss of Sheldon Adelson, z’l. His passion and vision in support of Israel on campus was unparalleled. His support of Birthright and generosity to Yad Vashem have helped shape the Jewish future. His contributions to medical science, health care, and veterans causes are less well known, but no less extraordinary. For a man of deep political beliefs, he demonstrated a remarkable willingness to trust those of us “on the ground” in the Hillel world, to follow the lead of students, and to learn from both successes and mistakes. He was a role model of true philanthropic partnership. May his beloved wife, Dr. Miriam Adelson and their entire family be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem. May his memory be a blessing. ... See MoreSee Less
