    Rebuilding life out of loss

    On June 15, 2025, two ballistic missiles struck the Weizmann Institute of Science, destroying facilities across campus and abruptly halting decades of cutting‑edge research. Yet even in the face of devastation, Weizmann scientists, staff, and students have been working relentlessly to heal and rebuild—carrying forward the Institute’s enduring spirit of scientific exploration and resilience.
