Update Message from the Technion

Shalom,

Our thoughts and prayers are with the families who have lost loved ones, as well as with the forces currently engaged in conflicts in both the south and the north. We fervently hope for their safe and swift return.

After a thorough assessment of the situation earlier this evening, and in compliance with the periodically-updated directives from the Home Front Command, the Technion management has determined that activities on the Haifa campuses will continue on Thursday, November 2, 2023, in the same manner as they did today.

While the campus remains in ’emergency mode,’ we are committed to maintaining as normal a work and academic environment as possible. This is being done in conjunction with ongoing preparations for any emergent situations. Rest assured, we are continually ready to adapt to any changes in the Home Front Command’s instructions.

We urge you to take the time to prepare for emergencies and to familiarize yourselves with the relevant protocols. Please identify the locations of protected spaces near your offices or residences. We recommend that you not only review the list of these spaces but also physically visit the locations that are relevant to you.
