The most inspiring thing you’ll see today! 🇮🇱 Students at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine just learned that their medical school is now tuition free. Can you imagine the feeling?! Here’s the official story: "Dr. Ruth Gottesman, the 93-year-old Jewish widow of a Wall Street financier has donated $1 billion to a Bronx medical school, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, with instructions that the gift be used to cover tuition for all students going forward. Dr. Ruth Gottesman is a former professor at Einstein, where she studied learning disabilities, developed a screening test and ran literacy programs. It is one of the largest charitable donations to an educational institution in the United States. The fortune came from her late husband, David Gottesman, known as Sandy, who was a protégé of Warren Buffett. The Bronx is the poorest borough in NYC. Dr. Gottesman said her donation would enable new doctors to begin their careers without medical school debt, which often exceeds $200,000. She also hoped it would broaden the student body to include people who could not otherwise afford to go to medical school. Dr. Gottesman's husband died in 2022 at age 96. "He left me, unbeknownst to me, a whole portfolio of Berkshire Hathaway stock," she recalled. The instructions were simple: "Do whatever you think is right with it," she recalled." – The New York Times * This is the Jewish spirit! 🇮🇱❤️ An act of pure loving kindness! As Maimonides says, the greatest form of charity is education – enabling one to become independent and earn a living.
