Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein has eulogized Jewish-American philanthropist Morton Mandel, who passed away at the age of 98, recalling, "I got to know him, study at one of the Mandel Leadership Institute programs and even take part in setting up the Mandel School for Educational Leadership."
Edelstein added, "Morton, who was active and involved in all areas of Israeli society, was a modest Israel-loving Jew. The institutions that he founded and the people he helped will stand forever to his merit."
