Our undergraduate schools combine rigorous academics, unsurpassed Jewish studies and a nurturing Jewish environment.

The Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein Honors Program at Yeshiva College, the S. Daniel Abraham Honors Pro gram at Stern College and the honors courses at Sy Syms School of Business stress the intellectual develop-ment and cultural enrichment of outstanding students. Many opportunities exist for internships and research.

The Zahava and Moshael Straus Center for Torah and Western Thought Great Conversation Series featured former United States Attorney General Michael Mukasey and Rabbi Dr. Meir Soloveichik discussing religion and ethics in an age of terror, as well as Newark Mayor Cory Booker analyzing the role of religion in education and public life. As part of Stern College for Women’s Dr. Marcia Robbins-Wilf Scholar-in-Residence Program, political and religious analysts discussed the impact of religion on the 2012 presidential race. The seventh annual Fuld Family Medical Ethics Conference featured “Out of the Ashes: Jewish Approaches to Medical Dilemmas Born out of the Holocaust,” which explored moral and ethical dilemmas created by the Shoah; Mark Gerson, President and CEO, Gerson Lehman Group, Abbe Raven, President and CEO of A&E Television Networks and various other executives spoke to Sy Syms students as part of the popular Kukin Lecture Series.

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 numerous 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, participating in special programming 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. Quest, a weekly two-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. Quest utilizes 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 program.

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

Residential life is an essential component of the YU experience. Friendships forged in the residence halls lend a richness to the college experience that transcends classroom learning. University Housing and Residence Life encompasses residential life programming, counseling, and the selection, training and supervision of the resident advisors (RAs). Staff members help create a community within the University for students by offering educational and social programming. Each residence floor and building constitutes a unique community. Staff members are avail-able to help you navigate college life and dormitory living and are accessible to meet with students individually as needed. The students’ growth and development are important to staff members of the Office of University Housing and Residence Life.

Throughout the year, the Office of University Housing and Residence Life plans various events on campus. Some of our past events include the nationally acclaimed Cholent Cook-off, YU Mini Open (mini golf tournament), and Mid-night Madness (a healthy outlet for students to relax and enjoy hanging out with one another during finals week).

RAs are available for support in the resident halls. RAs regularly plan floor programming, events and parties, always with an eye toward enhancing the residential experience, educational benefits, community needs, and health awareness—whether watching a movie in the lounge, listening to a shiur given by our roshei yeshiva or a lecture/discussion led by a professor, to ensure students receive a rich, fun-filled, resident life experience.

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.

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.

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.

For nearly a century, Yeshiva University High School for Boys has represented the very best in secondary Jewish education. With a primary focus on Talmud Torah in the daily Shiurim which, in the traditional yeshiva fashion, span the entire morning and in many cases, the early afternoon as well, our talmidim are taught not only to learn Torah, but to live it and indeed to love it and all it stands for.

Under the caring guidance of devoted and learned rebbeim, they are exposed to the depth and breadth of Torah, they are inspired to strive for Torah greatness themselves, and they are imbued with the values of Yiras Shomayim, of chessed, and of mentschlichkeit. At the same time, the college preparatory program is likewise exceptional, featuring exciting and challenging courses taught by a superior faculty in a wide array of general studies subjects, designed to engage the minds of our students, to teach them necessary skills and to help develop them into well-rounded, accomplished young men.

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.

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 dialogue 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 Depart-ment of Jewish Career Development and Placement offers rabbis, administrators 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.
