The Schoenheimer Family: 50 Years of Philanthropy
The Schoenheimer Family: 50 Years of Philanthropy

https://weizmann-usa.org/news-media/feature-stories/the-schoenheimer-family-50-years-of-philanthropy/

Oct 31, 2018... “Weizmann was never introduced to us,” says Linda Schoenheimer McCurdy. “It was always present in our lives, just as philanthropy was always present.”
For Linda and her sister, Joyce Schoenheimer Oleshansky, supporting the Weizmann Institute was “a given,” thanks to their father, the late Pierre Schoenheimer. A visionary leader and generous friend of the Institute, Pierre was a member of the American Committee’s National Board, the Institute’s International Board, and the prestigious President’s Circle.

Science and Peace
Science and Peace

https://weizmann-usa.org/news-media/in-the-news/science-and-peace/

Feb 01, 2010... Daniel Zajfman is the president of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel
History—not to mention different languages, cultures, and values—can make peace difficult to achieve. Science is a common ground upon which nations can collaborate to improve our world.
Since the first humans began experimenting with new designs for spears, scientific research has held the potential to change not only the way we live, but also how long we live. Human and animal labor has been replaced by the work of levers and machines. Distances have shrunk as new means of travel have been invented, and communication across these distances has become instantaneous. Modern drugs now cure many lethal diseases. In short, the quality of life and its span have improved for most, unfortunately not all, people on this planet.

Feb 15, 2019... Villa Weizmann on the Weizmann Institute [campus], today.
The patron/artist relationship touches on one of the most complex issues in the architectural profession. In contrast to any other art work where the creative aspirations of the artist constitute the main functional medium, architecture focuses on the client’s ambition, particularly in relation to private houses, where a list of requests express his taste, dreams, social status and lifestyle.
