(JNS.org) U.S. businessman and philanthropist Sheldon Adelson and his wife Dr. Miriam Adelson will donate $25 million to Israel’s Ariel University, located in Judea and Samaria. The donation is for the university’s School of Health Sciences department, which enrolls nearly 1,200 students of the school’s nearly 14,000 students. The school is embarking on an ambitious expansion plan that includes the establishment of a regional medical center that will service the area’s Jewish and Arab populations.
