The Yeshiva University Office of Student Life partners with the University community to create dynamic and meaningful experiences for our diverse student body. Hundreds of student-led clubs and service programs cater to a vast variety of our students’ interests and offer important opportunities for leadership development. Student clubs represent a variety of interests on both the Beren and Wilf campuses. Supported by the student governments, student clubs run a number of exciting programs and events throughout the year, offering a great opportunity to engage in co-curricular interests. If a club does not yet exist, currently registered Yeshiva students can complete the process to establish one. The various divisions of student government offer programs and events indicative of the vast interests of the students under the guidance, training and support of the Office of Student Life.

Shabbat programming throughout the year is filled with inspiring speakers, meaningful davening [prayer] and ruach [spirit] which make Shabbat one of the most exciting aspects of YU student life. Students enjoy lively meals, learning, singing and thought-provoking discussions. Both campuses provide a warm, exciting Shabbat experience that students look forward to, taking part in special pro-gramming with dynamic guest speakers and interactive activities. They attend study sessions and meet informally with fellow students and faculty members.

Students can take part in a variety of leadership training opportunities offered by the Office of Student Life—such as Quest and BUILD. Quest, a weekly 2-hour meeting every Wednesday night, provokes thought and action. In those meetings, the philosophy of Jewish leadership provides a framework for understanding leadership theories and

practical skills. BUILD, a new initiative sponsored by the UJA-Federation of New York, allows students to train together with a group of undergraduate Jewish college students in the New York area to be more effective and inspirational as Jewish leaders and to take an active role in the greater Jewish community. Both Quest and BUILD utilize experiential exercises, text study, discussions, presentations, hands-on projects, online conversations, site visits and a leadership mission to engage participants in achieving the goals of the programs.

The Office of Student Life also offers [email protected] as a resource that prospective students and current stu- dents can rely on for prompt feedback in response to ques-tions, concerns, or suggestions regarding all areas of YU life.

The S. Daniel Abraham Israel Program is a formal arrange-ment between Yeshiva University and 45 yeshivot and seminaries in Israel. For the nearly 700 young men and women who are studying in Israel this year, this Yeshiva University program provides structure, support and guidance.

Students enrolled in the program are YU undergraduate students and are eligible for all applicable state and federal financial aid programs. The program is headquartered at the dedicated Student Center at Yeshiva University’s Israel Campus in the Bayit Vegan neighborhood of Jerusalem.

Students receive academic guidance and support from the University’s Israel office located at the Yeshiva University in Israel Campus in Jerusalem; attend concerts, lectures and Shabbatonim; and increase their fluency in Hebrew.

13

Page 18: This Is Yeshiva University - 2012

The program enables students to incorporate study at Israeli yeshivot or universities into their college years, enhancing their academic experience. Israel’s leading educators teach an intense program of Jewish subjects including Talmud, Bible, Jewish law and thought, philosophy, Zionism and Jewish history. The Israel experience increases proficiency in oral and written Hebrew and enables students to learn firsthand about Israel’s land, people, history and culture.

The S. Daniel Abraham Israel Program maintains a professionally staffed office in Israel to assist all program participants. YU’s Israel representatives visit schools regularly and offer academic guidance, career planning and personal counseling. In addition, the program sponsors lectures and activities where students can gather under the auspices of Yeshiva University, and a guidance center to provide support to help ease the occasionally challenging adjustment to a year’s study in Israel.

The program’s team works closely with the staff of all the yeshivot involved in the program. Yeshiva University also sponsors major events for American students in Israel, such as lectures, melava malkas with YU rabbis, an Inter-Seminary Choir Competition, art and photo competitions, a career fair, bein hazmanim [between semester] programs, a women’s basketball league and weekly D’var Torah newsletters.

Founded in 1955 as the first medical school in the United States under Jewish auspices and described by Albert Einstein as “the greatest contribution the Jewish community has undertaken for the commonweal of the American people,” Albert Einstein College of Medicine is now one of the most selective medical schools in the country, with some 7,400 applications for 183 first-year places.

Located on the Jack and Pearl Resnick Campus in a residential community of the northeast Bronx, Einstein is the affiliated medical school for several of the leading hospitals in New York, including Montefiore Medical Center. It awards the Doctor of Medicine degree as well as the PhD, combined MD/PhD and MS degrees. It also sponsors one of the largest post graduate clinical training programs in the United States.

A full-time faculty of more than 2,000 teaches and delivers health care and conducts studies in every major medical specialty and area of biomedical research. The faculty receives more than $150 million annually in research grants from the National Institutes of Health. Interdisciplinary collab ora tion among departments and specialists has produced important advances in the clinical care and scientific understanding of cancer; brain disorders; liver, heart and kidney disease; diabetes; Alzheimer’s disease; and AIDS, among others.

Widely known for its socially conscious approach to medi-cine, Einstein pioneered the development of medical ethics in medical school curricula, was the first private medical school in New York with an academic department of family medicine, and created New York’s first residency program in internal medicine with an emphasis on women’s health.

Vital in its approach and vibrant in its tradition, the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary (RIETS) is the Western hemisphere’s leading center for Torah learning and training for the rabbinate.

For over a century, the seminary has provided an unsur-passed educational experience in the classic mold of the great yeshivot. Embodying the historic concept of Torah Lishmah [learning for its own sake] and a responsiveness to community needs, the seminary is a deep font of Jewish knowledge and a preeminent source of rabbinic leadership for the next generation and beyond.

In an increasingly complex world, the seminary accepts the challenge to prepare its students to face the multifarious issues of today’s society—anchored always in the sacred legacy of our Torah and people.

The seminary has trained some 2,900 of the world’s Ortho-dox rabbis, scholars and teachers. With their rich grounding in the full spectrum of our hallowed tradition, graduates assume a broad range of leadership roles in the community while ensuring the perpetuation of Jewish scholarship.

26

Page 31: This Is Yeshiva University - 2012

Firmly set in the emphasis on Talmud, Codes and Halakhah [Jewish law], the seminary has developed programs to meet the communal and personal needs of our time and place—for example, business ethics, bioethics, technology—with the unique ambience of intellectual and spiritual exploration that has always characterized the great academies of Jewish learning in the past.

THE RABBI JOSEPH B. SOLOVEITCHIK SEMIKHAH PROGRAM provides four post-college years of intensive study of Talmud, classical commen taries, Codes and Responsa literature, supplemented by pre paration for day-to-day aspects of the rabbinate.

A core curriculum of Public Speaking, Pastoral Psychology and Leadership Training is supple-mented by advanced coursework in one of five tracks: Education, Community Rabbinate/Pulpit, Hospital Chaplaincy, Community and Campus Outreach, and Non-Profit Work. Additionally, through a dynamic partnership with Yeshiva University’s Center for the Jewish Future, students are given valuable leadership experiences in settings around the world.

THE IRVING I. STONE RABBINIC INTERNSHIP PROGRAM provides pulpit and educational internships in schools, syna go gues and other agencies.

The Center for the Jewish Future (CJF) is located at the Wilf campus. Its mission is to shape, enrich and inspire the contemporary Jewish community by convening the resources of Yeshiva University.

The CJF infuses the student body with a spirit of leadership and responsibility to Klal Yisrael [people of Israel] and society; builds, cultivates and supports communities and their lay leaders and rabbinic leadership; and creates a global movement that promotes the values of Yeshiva University, including Torah Umadda and Religious Zionism.

Inspiring New LeadersThis center prepares college and graduate students to become Jewish leaders. In particular, service learning programs at home and abroad over winter and summer breaks encourage students to explore issues of aiding the Jewish community and tikkun olam [healing the world]. Several initiatives identify potential leaders, encouraging them to consider Jewish communal work and offering them an unmatched program of professional training in cooperation with the various graduate schools of the University.

The CJF strengthens the Jewish educational experiences of students in high schools throughout North America through informal educational programs that focus on leadership skills, Jewish values and Torah study.

33

Page 38: This Is Yeshiva University - 2012

Supporting Rabbis, Rebbetzins, Educators and Lay Leaders and Partnering with CommunitiesThe CJF serves as the community arm of the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary (RIETS), offering continuing professional education to rabbis, rebbetzins, educators and lay leaders through a number of annual programs. Yarchei Kallah [spiritual retreats] give rabbis and their wives an opportunity to enrich their Torah knowledge and network with one another. Executive Rabbinic Seminars bring rabbis and lay leaders together for training in strategic planning, leadership, management dynamics and board development. A tool box of services features a University Speakers Bureau (yu.edu/speakers), personal coaching for rabbis and lay leaders and consultation opportunities for communities. A national conference convenes communal leaders for dia-logue on pertinent issues regarding the Jewish community.

Through the center, YU has established kollelim [institutes of advanced learning] in Chicago and Toronto, where members of the local community learn with RIETS graduates. The Morris and Gertrude Bienenfeld Department of Jewish Career Development and Placement offers rabbis, adminis-trators and educators career guidance and placement.

Promoting the Values of Yeshiva UniversityThe center has developed a wide variety of initiatives to further the unique values of Yeshiva University. A Web site devoted to Torah learning, YUTorah.org, and a Holiday- To-Go Series make the shiurim [lectures] of YU’s roshei yeshiva [professors of Talmud] and other Torah personalities available for downloading. A Sunday morning Torah learning program brings hundreds of men and women together for shiurim on the Wilf Campus and in various regions of North America. Through research and dialogue, the CJF looks for practical solutions to such contemporary issues as medical ethics and the day school tuition crisis.
