Th Hebrew University of Jerusalem was not founded by Albert Einstein, it was founded by Dr. Chaim Weizmann. Dr. Weizmann was a Jewish man born in Russia in 1874. He was a biochemist, an adviser to the Allied forces in World War I, and was eventually appointed head of the Zionist Commission sent to Palestine by the British Government, known as the Balfour Declaration. The British Government proposed a Jewish settlement in Uganda, but Dr. Weizmann opposed it and suggested the creation of a Hebrew University in Palestine instead. In 1925, the university opened in Jerusalem and Dr. Weizmann was chosen as the first honorary president. He eventually became a prominent leader in the Zionist movement in Europe and in Palestine. He later became president of Israel which he served until his death in 1952.

Although Einstein was not the founder of the University, he was among the First Board of Governors for the University, along with Sigmund Freud, Martin Buber, Haim Nahman Bialik, Asher Ginsberg (Ahad Ha'am), Dr. Judah Leib Magnes, James Rothschild, Sir Alfred Mond, Nahum Sokolov, Harry Sacher and Felix M. Warburg.
