Commencement Tuesday, May 26, 2020 | Wednesday, May 27, 2020 Commencement Tuesday, May 26, 2020 | Wednesday, May 27, 2020 About Touro University California Touro University California (TUC) is a Jewish nonprofit, independent graduate institution of higher learning that was founded in 1997 on three Judaic values: social justice, the pursuit of knowledge, and service to humanity. TUC’s vision is to be a place of inspirational teaching and scholarship, transformative leadership, and exemplary service. Today, the university is organized into three colleges: the College of Osteopathic Medicine, the College of Pharmacy, and the College of Education and Health Sciences. Home to over 1,500 students, TUC is deeply committed to its mission of offering distinguished professional programs in osteopathic medicine, pharmacy, physician assistant studies, public health, nursing, and education. The TUC learning experience is student-centered, enriched by research and scholarship, and prepares professionals for rewarding lives in service to others both locally and around the globe. Touro College and University System Touro University California is part of the Touro College and University System (TCUS), which is comprised of non-profit institutions of higher and professional education. • Touro College was established in 1970 with the mission to educate, to serve, to perpetuate, and to enrich the historic Jewish tradition of tolerance and dignity. Created as an independent institution that would support and strengthen the Jewish community, Touro has remained steadfast in its commitment to Jewish continuity and more broadly, to humankind. • Approximately 19,000 students are currently enrolled in TCUS schools and divisions. The system has 30 schools with branch campuses in the New York area, as well as programs in Chicago, California, Nevada, Moscow, Israel, and Berlin. • Touro University California and its Nevada branch campus, as well as Touro College Los Angeles and Touro University Worldwide, are separately accredited institutions within the Touro College and University System. History of the Campus Touro University California faces the Napa River on historic Mare Island where in 1854, the first permanent Navy installation on the West Coast was established. Naval operations at that time insured the flow of gold and U.S. mail to and across Panama and protected American whalers in the South Pacific. Under the leadership of Commander David G. Farragut, Mare Island began a long history of shipbuilding. The first U.S. warship built on the West Coast was launched at Mare Island in 1859, and the first dry-dock on the West Coast was completed in 1891. The Mare Island Base Hospital, a National Historic Landmark, was constructed in 1899 on the foundation of an even older Navy hospital. The only U.S. battleship ever built on the West Coast, the Californian, was launched from here in 1919. Other historic milestones include the building of a platform on the vessel Pennsylvania, which permitted the first carrier landing of an airplane, and converting the Navy’s first vessel to run on oil rather than coal. During World War II, Mare Island produced almost 400 vessels and in 1958 launched the first of 17 nuclear submarines. tu.edu 1 Congratulations Graduates!

Graduates—your commencement marks a pivotal and important day for you, Touro, and most of all, the communities and people that you will go on to serve.

You will be joining a distinguished group of alumni who are outstanding doctors, pharmacists, educators, physician assistants, nurses, family nurse practitioners, public health practitioners, and health science professionals.

Congratulations on your achievement under the most challenging of circumstances. Now, more than ever your skills and training will be an essential asset to your patients, communities and your world. Shelley Berkley CEO and Senior Provost Touro Western Division Touro University California Graduates of 2020, your commitment to social justice has created transformational changes in our community even in the midst of a pandemic. Your service at the Student- Run Free Clinic and on the MOBEC has provided access to healthcare and given patients the tools they need to live healthier and more fulfilling lives. Many of you have served in communities across the globe to create and implement meaningful public health interventions. The educators among you have applied evidence-based strategies to your classrooms so that your students will thrive in a world that is different from the one in which you yourselves grew up. In your final year, you stood up to the challenge of COVID-19 that has altered the way we live. You responded with grace in the call to shelter-in-place to protect the most vulnerable members of our community. You have continued to serve by supporting our communities and each other in the midst of great challenges from sewing masks, to caring for the homeless, to staffing drive through testing centers, and providing remote education for K-12 students. Today you stand ready to meet our community’s most essential needs in an unprecedented time. Every one of you has been changed by your time at Touro University California. Use your experience to live a life of great impact while continually upholding these values: respect for the inherent value and dignity of each individual, acceptance and appreciation of diversity, and compassion and service to society. We, your faculty and staff, know you will continue to create positive change in our world.

  • The Genius and Limitations of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik Z"L
    The Genius and Limitations of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik z"l Byline: Rabbi Dr. Nathan Lopes Cardozo is Dean of the David Cardozo Academy in Jerusalem. Thoughts to Ponder 529 The Genius and Limitations of Rabbi Joseph Ber Soloveitchik z”l * Nathan Lopes Cardozo Based on an introduction to a discussion between Professor William Kolbrener and Professor Elliott Malamet (1) Honoring the publication of Professor William Kolbrener’s new book “The Last Rabbi” (2) Yad Harav Nissim, Jerusalem, on Feb. 1, 2017 Dear Friends, I never had the privilege of meeting Rav Soloveitchik z”l or learning under him. But I believe I have read all of his books on Jewish philosophy and Halacha, and even some of his Talmudic novellae and halachic decisions. I have also spoken with many of his students. Here are my impressions. No doubt Rav Soloveitchik was a Gadol Ha-dor (a great sage of his generation). He was a supreme Talmudist and certainly one of the greatest religious thinkers of our time. His literary output is incredible. Still, I believe that he was not a mechadesh – a man whose novel ideas really moved the Jewish tradition forward, especially regarding Halacha. He did not solve major halachic problems. This may sound strange, because almost no one has written as many novel ideas about Halacha as Rav Soloveitchik (3). His masterpiece, Halakhic Man, is perhaps the prime example. Before Rav Soloveitchik appeared on the scene, nobody – surely not in mainstream Orthodoxy – had seriously dealt with the ideology and philosophy of Halacha (4). Page 1 In fact, the reverse is true.

The ethnicgroups which are investigated include Poles, Irish, Italians, and Jews. An ethnic person is defined as anyone who decides to identify with and live among those who share the same immigrant memories and values. Ethnic origin, ethnic loyalties, and ethnic considerations playan important role in the political process of the United States. A separate chapter focuses on each of the four minority groups and its role in the process of American politics. Jews, labeled as the shaken liberals, have historically been staunch supporters of the liberal tradition as a unified voter block, but apparent conservative trends are showing as a reaction to radical liberalism and its support of the Arab nations. The Irish built and dominated political organizations, known as machines, in several cities and their predominance in city politics continues today. Italians'were rather slow in getting into politics, but in general Italiansare politically conservative, strong American patriots, disunited due to internal identity conflicts, and assimilating rapidly into U.S.

  • The Slippery Slope of Jewish Religious Dialogue with the Church
    http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Controls/SendFriend.ashx?print=1&... Opinion Iyar 26, 5775, 15/05/15 04:45 The Slippery Slope of Jewish Religious Dialogue with the Church Saying "Thank You, but No Thank You" to programs that contravene clear halakhic rulings, including those of Torah luminaries of our times. From Rabbi Avraham Gordimer Rabbi David HaKohen Grosser co authored this article. The rabbis, cardinals, bishops and priests met together , prayed together, discussed theology together, sang, danced and feasted together , and recited the Shema together. They cried together as they attended a church orchestra performance of The Suffering of the Innocents , commemorating the Holocaust, with the intertwined parallel theme of Mary crying as Jesus suffered and was killed. A bonfire celebration was held under the imposing shadow of a large gold statue of the Pope. The Jewish and Catholic clergy embraced and clasped hands as they spiritedly danced and sang Jewish song together . Reform, Conservative, Orthodox and Reconstructionist rabbis… Rabbis such as Irving Greenberg of CLAL, David Rosen of AJC, and a delegation of leaders from Yeshivat Chovevei Torah , lovingly declared allegiance to a new and close fraternal relationship with their Catholic counterparts. This unique program occurred on May 4-7 of this year at Domus Galilaeae , the Catholic center for study and prayer in the Galilee. Domus Galilaeae opened in the year 2000 upon the visit of Pope John Paul II to the Land of Israel, with the hope that the Domus would become a locus for interfaith dialogue. The program was coordinated and hosted by the Neocatechumenal Way , an outreach movement within the Roman Catholic Church focusing on the Catholic formation of adults.
