NEWSLETTER:
2001-2002 |

Welcome to the ninth edition of the Annual Newsletter of the
Harvard Business School Alumni Association of Israel. For the past nine years,
this newsletter has strived to strengthen the ties between HBS and the members
of the Harvard Business School Alumni Association of Israel (HBSAAI). This year
we are trying to do so by highlighting the involvement and experiences of the
Israeli HBS community in the campus.

This year has been difficult for all of us. The
current turmoil in the Middle East did not escape the HBS campus and almost all the
articles in this newsletter touch the subject in one way or another. First, we
feature the HBS Israel trek article by Meg
Stern and Daniel Rethazy
who were among the few HBSers that went on the trek in spite of tough circumstances. Due to the situation we joined forces, for the first time,
with other business schools (Columbia, Wharton, NYU) to reach a critical mass of
students. This was a great success and we encourage future organizers of the
Israeli trek to do the same. David-Alexandre
Gros, the HBS Jewish Student Association co-president, writes a
report on the club’s activities in the past year. Margot Rabinowitz Eiran presents her perspective
on the events of 9/11 and the situation in Israel. Isaac
Ciechanover writes on pursuing an MBA at HBS form a
medical doctor's perspective. In the opinion section of this
newsletter, we are challenging the HBSAAI
in terms of exposing HBS to Israeli prospective students.
Lastly, we wish to bring to your attention that after last year’s inauguration of
the luxurious Spangler building, a new classroom building was inaugurated in the
HBS campus – the Hawes Hall building.

It is our hope that you will enjoy this issue. We are also
very proud to announce next year’s editors Gady Lachman,
Eytan
Pisetzky, Ziv Bursztyn, Nitzan Shaer
and Itamar Kendel. We wish them good luck and an exciting second year at
HBS.
