Supporting our Jewish community This fact sheet offers a high-level summary of the many steps MIT leaders have taken to support our vibrant Jewish community. A world without MIT In a world without MIT, radar wouldn’t have been available to help win World War II. We might not have email, CT scans, time-release drugs, photolithography, or GPS. And we’d lose over 30,000 companies, employing millions of people. Can you imagine? Benefits for all Americans MIT’s vital research and education — on topics such as human health, energy innovation, quantum computing, and advanced manufacturing — continue to advance national security, economic competitiveness, and quality of life for all Americans.
