I am happy to support this project because only the exploration of history — which invariably is the history of individual human beings — can put together again what has been destroyed and thus give back the dead a kind of life.

The heredity of the individual weaves into the history of the collective. From the dust of forgetfulness, the Am haZikaron project creates a meaningful narrative.

Our past is in the present – that’s why your project seems important to many of us.

I am very pleased to enthusiastically endorse this project of the Institute “Am haZikaron” on Science and Heritage of the Jewish People. I think it is an excellent idea not only for the historical and sociological information it provides, but also for the insight it may give into the many accomplishments of the Jewish people, adversity notwithstanding, or in some cases perhaps because of it.

I am delighted to join the Committee in supporting this wonderful project. A fuller understanding of our roots will undoubtedly bring important insights and inspiration for future generations.

The history and rich cultural heritage of the Jewish people must not be lost. The Am haZikaron Institute is dedicated to uncovering and preserving these important elements of Jewish identity, and I enthusiastically support its work.

Perhaps we may learn more of who we are and what we were.

Having struggled to piece together my own family history in Eastern Europe, I am delighted to endorse “Am haZikaron” and hope that it will serve Jewish communities for generations.
Elias James Corey
Winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 1990
I am happy to endorse this project which would seem to me is a worthy, though arduous, endeavor. I hope that the findings will be enlightening as well as historically significant. I have always found it fascinating to try to discover just how far back in time it was that the common ancestors of the eastern Mediterranean people lived. This program may lead the way to others. Thank you for offering me to join the list of endorsers.
