A grant of $250,000 by the Wurzweiler Foundation to Bar-Ilan University, American university in Israel, was announced here today by Rabbi Joseph H. Lookstein, chairman of the University’s Academic Council.
Reporting the grant to a meeting of the board of trustees of the American patterned liberal arts college, Rabbi Lookstein revealed that it was made for the erection of a library building on the Bar-Ilan University campus in memory of the late Gustav Wurzweiler, founder of the Foundation and an Orthodox Jew who came to this country as a fugitive from Nazi terror. This is the second grant by the Wurzweiler Foundation to the University, the sum of $50, 000 having previously been awarded for general purposes.
