Meet Reichman University Lone Soldier Rinat Tzubeli

Hey everyone! My name is Rinat Tzubeli, I'm a 3rd-year student at the Sammy Ofer School

of Communication at Reichman University, and I moved to Israel from Florida, USA.

I moved to Israel six years ago and now live in Tel Aviv. I first came here at 18, and since then, I never wanted to leave. Israel became home. My family is still in the U.S., and it’s not always easy, but I get to see them more than once or twice a year, and that’s my biggest blessing.

When I visited the Raphael Recanati International School for the first time, what won me over was the atmosphere on the Reichman University campus. It was more than just classes and studies – it was something alive, dynamic, and full of possibilities. I had no doubts at all. After finishing my military service, I realized my heart was already in love with Israel. I had no interest in studying at an American university – the chance to study in English in a country I love just felt right.

In the army, I served as a commander of new recruits in Magal. It was a meaningful experience that empowered me, and I learned more there than I ever imagined. I would do it again and again without thinking twice.

Living here in such a time is not easy. There are reminders everywhere of how much our lives have changed, but alongside the pain, it has also strengthened my understanding of how strong we are as a people. I have no thoughts of returning to the U.S. – I’m here to stay.

During my degree, I volunteered with the student association and was part of the Reichman Ambassadors Club, experiences that gave me so much.

My message to all the students serving in reserves duty:

The university is behind you. You’re doing an amazing job. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Reichman University Model UN Excels in National Simulation Event

On March 12th, Reichman University hosted a Model United Nations simulation, bringing together delegates from across Israel, including representatives from four different MUN societies. The event featured three committees, each tasked with developing a lasting resolution to the conflict in Sudan, with a special focus on humanitarian efforts.

Despite the complexity of the topic, each committee successfully passed a resolution. The Reichman delegation excelled, winning seven out of nine awards, including every Best Delegate and Distinguished Delegate honor. This outstanding performance further solidifies RUMUN's reputation as a leading team in Israel.

Reichman Model UN is generously supported by Gioietta & Alberto Vitale.

Meet Dr. Daniel Landsberger, Vice Dean for Students at the Dina Recanati School of Medicine

Meet Dr. Daniel Landsberger, Vice Dean for Students at the Dina Recanati School of Medicine and an expert in internal medicine with a master's degree in health systems management. He serves as the chief physician at Maccabi Healthcare Services.

Dr. Landsberger, 62, is married to Merav and is a father of three. He studied medicine in South Africa and moved to Israel three days after his wedding. He completed his residency at Hadassah Ein Karem in Jerusalem and served as a doctor in the Israeli Air Force during his military service.

After his discharge, he joined Maccabi Healthcare Services in various roles: family doctor, head of the urgent care centers, head of community medicine, medical director of the Sharon district, and currently, the chief physician. Among his public roles, he is a member of the public health basket committee and the health council.

Dr. Landsberger shares, "I enjoy planning trips with family and friends, from nature reserves at the edge of Africa, coral beaches in the Pacific Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, to the northernmost regions of Canada, where I also worked as a doctor at one of the most remote hospitals in the world. At home, our lifestyle is vegan; perhaps as a result, we host animals that wander in from the neighborhood (dogs, cats, hedgehogs, and more).

His message to students: "To be a good doctor, you need to be a good and curious person. You must see medicine not just as a profession, but as a calling and a privilege to help others."
