Barbra Streisand to receive Honorary Ph.D. from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem during visit to Israel in June



Barbra Streisand will receive her Honorary Ph.D. during the 76th Board of Governors of the Hebrew University, in recognition of her professional achievements, outstanding humanitarianism, leadership in the realm of human and civil rights, and dedication to Israel and the Jewish people. Ms. Streisand’s multi-dimensional career has kept her at the forefront of the entertainment industry for decades. A proponent of education, Ms. Streisand established the Emanuel Streisand Building for Jewish Studies on the University’s Mount Scopus campus in 1984. She dedicated the building in memory of her beloved father, Emanuel, whom she praised as “a teacher, scholar and religious man who devoted himself to education.”
