Israeli President Isaac Herzog last week visited the Jerusalem College of Technology, where he expressed his deep appreciation for combining Judaism with scholarly work.
“The unique integration that JCT represents—between Torah and science—is a tremendous asset for the State of Israel, especially in a time of division,” he was quoted as saying in a press release by the institution of higher education.

JCT is home to approximately 4,500 religious and Haredi students pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees in engineering, management, life sciences and health professions, as well as preparatory programs.

The institution offers a unique framework that combines top-tier academic studies with Torah learning, aimed at cultivating values-driven leadership that contributes to shaping Israeli society and industry. The graduates hold key positions in the Israel Defense Forces, Defense Minister, defense sector and across Israel’s civilian industries in high-tech, management and healthcare.
