Bar-Ilan University, located in Ramat Gan, Israel, was established in 1955, integrating Jewish tradition with modern academic inquiry. The university is named after Rabbi Meir Bar-Ilan, a spiritual leader who was instrumental in shaping religious Zionism. Bar-Ilan University is known for its synthesis of traditional Jewish studies with a broad spectrum of contemporary academic disciplines, including sciences, humanities, social sciences, law, engineering, and life sciences. It also features a significant emphasis on Jewish education and heritage, distinguished by its compulsory Jewish studies program for undergraduate students. The university’s vibrant campus hosts a diverse student body and is engaged in extensive research activities, contributing significantly to Israel’s academic and cultural landscape.
