The Rappaport Medical Sciences Building was inaugurated in 1979 by the late Prime Minister, Mr. Menachem Begin, in the presence of many distinguished guests. In my opening address at the inauguration ceremony, I recalled the famous words from Isaiah (B,3)
For out of Zion shall go out Torah and the word of the L-rd from Yerushalayim At the same time, Ethics of the Fathers teaches us that Where there is no bread there is no Torah
These challenging words have inspired my wife and me in our lifelong philanthropic activity, particularly with regard to the Rappaport Institute. As I reflect upon my family’s commitment to supporting medical research, I always ask whether our significant efforts have been productive. Success in science is measured by discoveries, achievements, invention and recognition by the international scientific community. I am proud to say that new and continuing research programs and scientific activities at the Institute are dedicated to achieving these goals. In the last several years, the Institute has recruited promising young researchers and has become a platform for international meetings, bringing together scientists of the highest level under its sponsorship. We are confident that the Institute, under the guidance of its distinguished Scientific Advisory Board, Board of Directors and current Directorship, will continue to excel. For our part, the Institute is guaranteed our support into the future. Bruce Rappaport Chairman, Board of Directors Geneva, Switzerland Caesarea, Israel
