It is being published in connection with the thirty-sixth anniversary of the Memorial Foundation, which will be celebrated at the meeting of our Board of Trustees in Jerusalem on July 1-4, 2002.

Since its inception in 1965-66, the Foundation has allocated $75,500,000 for Jewish cultural and educational activities. The government has granted $29,739,000 for 11,895 scholarships and fellowships and $45,761,000 for 5,836 institutional grants.
