The tree is still there. Since then, planting trees always accompanies me with a sense of creativity and joy of making our country greener.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Roth said that although he didn\u2019t physically plant a tree in his childhood, he remembers donating to the Jewish National Fund -JNF (in Hebrew \u201cKeren Kayemet\u201d) for a tree to be planted in his name in Israel. \u201cSince then, I\u2019ve been searching for this tree on my visits to Israel,\u201d he said. Technion President Professor Peretz Lavie, responded by saying that from now on he will always be able to find his tree here at the Technion, along the Nobel Prize Laureates Avenue.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">On Monday evening, the Honorary Doctorate Conferment Ceremony took place at the Churchill Auditorium.
