The Shalem Center has received an anonymous $1 million Gift for Shalem College, Israel’s first liberal arts college slated to open in 2012-13.

In a statement released in their email Newsletter Wednesday, The Shalem Center wrote “[t]he donors, from New York, are committed advocates for Israel and Jewish causes and long-time Shalem friends and supporters. Their unrestricted gift will match the Tikvah Fund’s $12.5 million challenge grant for Shalem College.”

“This generous matching Founder’s Gift will help translate that vision into a new future for the Jewish state and the Jewish world.” Shalem Center President Daniel Polisar said
