Bennett said that the Technion was a ‘lighthouse for the State of Israel.’ Lauder’s representative in Israel, Avi Balashnikov (left), said the Lauders visited the Technion three years ago and fell in love with it.
‘They are proud to be part of the respectable group of Technion supporters... The Lauder Foundation works to advance education and academia in Israel and this donation helps advance that cause,’ Balashnikov said.
