On June 15, the Weizmann Institute of Science—a beacon of breakthrough research in the heart of the start-up nation—was struck by a ballistic missile attack, causing devastating damage to our campus and community.

Buildings were decimated. Vital laboratories were destroyed. Core research facilities were compromised. The science that powers breakthroughs in cancer, climate, physics, neuroscience, and beyond has been abruptly halted.

This was not just an attack on a place—it was an attack on the pursuit of knowledge itself. But science does not stop. And the Weizmann Institute is embracing this as a moment of renewal. We are rebuilding—not only what was lost, but what comes next. With your support, we can restore our research infrastructure, provide resources for displaced scientists and students, and keep the engines of discovery running—for Israel and for the world.
