Dear Friends,
Below we have listed various articles which reflect our mission and
vision for creating a culture of engaged young people, helping to
develop strong vibrant communities led by inspired and passionate
leaders, and sharing a Jewish Torah ethic that is tolerant, relevant,
and meaningful.
We are proud to have sent 141 students on Service Learning Missions
over Winter Break, spanning three continents, and five countries. We
have seen time and again, that the more opportunities students have to
see and experience how they can be agents of change, the better the
chance they will recognize their capacity to assume positions of
professional and communal leadership in the future. We look forward to
seeing great things from these students and the many others who
participate in all of our different leadership programs.
We continue to take pride in our Shabbat Table Discussion series that
is growing in distribution and readership. We hope that you and your
family are using them to enrich your Shabbat Table conversations.

Whether
building
libraries in the Nicaraguan heat or renovating a youth center
in the cold of Kharkov, Ukraine,
Yeshiva University students were hard
at work during the winter intersession participating in Center for the
Jewish Future (CJF) programs around the world.
Comprised of seven service-learning missions across Europe, Israel,
Central America and the United States, the programs ran from January
12-22 and involved 140 undergraduates.

Puah
Institute Course at Yeshiva University
As former rabbi of
South Florida’s Boca Raton Synagogue, Rabbi Kenneth Brander
would regularly field questions from couples struggling
with fertility
issues. “I didn’t know how to answer these
difficult questions,” said Brander, who currently serves as
David Mitzner Dean of Yeshiva University’s Center for the
Jewish Future (CJF).
After taking a sabbatical
and studying at the Puah Institute (Machon
Puah)—Israel’s renowned institute of fertility and
medicine in accordance with halacha [Jewish law]— Brander
realized just how important it was for young rabbis to be trained in
this emerging field.
