“My connection to Hebrew University began at the age of 12, when my grandmother would ask me to translate ‘Thank You’ letters she received from the recipients of scholarships she helped fund,” Mr. Sandler said. “It is truly my absolute honor and privilege to continue her legacy for the following generations to come.”
