美国投资人John Paulson向希伯来大学捐赠2.5亿美元 为该校史上最大单笔捐款
耶路撒冷——美国投资人、慈善家 John Paulson 10月17日晚在希伯来大学理事会晚宴（Board of Governors Gala）上宣布，向希伯来大学捐赠2.5亿美元，为该校历史上收到的最大单笔捐款。连同此前的捐赠，Paulson 对该校的累计支持达到2.96亿美元。
为表彰这笔捐赠，希伯来大学历史悠久的 Mount Scopus 校区将命名为「Alina and John Paulson 校区」（The Alina and John Paulson Campus, Mount Scopus, Jerusalem）。该校区1918年奠基，大学1925年在此正式开学，创办人包括 Albert Einstein 等学者。
捐款将投向四项战略重点：新建工程学院（Faculty of Engineering）、扩大医学与生物医学事业（包括该校新推行的医学教育模式）、创伤与创伤后康复研究，以及新设公共影响与社区智库。此前 Paulson 家族基金会的捐赠已在该校 Edmond J. Safra 校区建成 Paulson Bar-El 计算机科学与工程大楼与 John Paulson 电气工程大楼。
Paulson 在晚宴上表示：「在我看来，没有哪所大学比希伯来大学更值得慈善支持。」他说，这笔捐赠也意在表达对以色列的支持与国际团结。希伯来大学校长 Prof. Tamir Sheafer 表示，这笔捐赠将帮助学校「招募世界级师资、支持优秀学生、装备尖端实验室」。
希伯来大学在2026年上海排名中位列全球第89位，累计注册专利逾10,750项，历史上共有10项诺贝尔奖与该校相关。
John Paulson Gives $250 Million to Hebrew University, the Largest Donation in Its History
JERUSALEM — American investor and philanthropist John Paulson announced on the evening of October 17, at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem's Board of Governors Gala, that he is giving $250 million to the university, the largest single donation in its history. Together with his previous gifts, Paulson's total support for the university reaches $296 million.
In recognition of the gift, the university's historic Mount Scopus campus will be named The Alina and John Paulson Campus, Mount Scopus, Jerusalem. The campus cornerstone was laid in 1918, and the university formally opened there in 1925; its founders included Albert Einstein.
The gift will support four strategic priorities: development of a new Faculty of Engineering, expansion of the university's medical and biomedical enterprise including its new model for medical education, trauma and post-trauma recovery research, and a new public impact and community think tank. Earlier Paulson Family Foundation gifts built the Paulson Bar-El Building for Computer Science and Engineering and the John Paulson Building for Electrical Engineering on the Edmond J. Safra Campus.
"I can think of no more deserving university for philanthropic support than Hebrew University," Paulson said, adding that the gift is also meant to show support and international solidarity with Israel. University President Prof. Tamir Sheafer said the contribution "empowers us to recruit world-class faculty, support exceptional students, equip cutting-edge laboratories."
Hebrew University ranked 89th globally in the 2026 Shanghai Ranking, has registered more than 10,750 patents, and counts ten Nobel Prizes among its associated honors.
