    Jews, Sports and Society Dedication. Countless hours of commitment. Sacrifice. Rising to the challenges of adversity. Maximizing one’s natural talents. A religiously-infused life and the endeavor of sports have much in common, though often come into conflict. We share with you the latest issue of YU Ideas, “Jews, Sports and Society,” featuring essays from Yeshiva University faculty and staff, and invite you to reflect on the myriad ways in which Judaism and sports have intersected, both historically and in our contemporary era. We dedicate this issue in memory of Bob Tufts, former Sy Syms School of Business Professor and former major league baseball pitcher, who boldly and passionately lived a life balancing faith and passion for sport.

LXXXVII TUESDAY, AUGUST 31, 2021 ISSUE NO. 1 Students Return to Campus With Nearly No COVID-Restrictions By SEFFI JONAS This article was published online on August 29. Yeshiva University undergraduates re- turned to campus with nearly no COVID- restrictions on Wednesday, Aug. 25, when the fall semester began. Student council leaders and the Office of Student Life (OSL) organized the back-to-school programming. Last semester, about 550 students lived on campus. Those students were required to wear masks and receive a negative PCR test twice weekly. For the 2021-22 academic year, students only needed proof of vac- cination and a negative PCR test to return to campus, without further COVID testing. Unvaccinated students who were granted exception from the vaccine requirement have stricter guidelines. Superstorm Henri, which made landfall on Sunday, Aug. 22, delayed moving into the dorms for some of the student body. Despite the storm, orientation commenced that same Sunday evening. OSL provided students with several op- portunities to do chessed during the first week back on campus. Students pack- aged kosher Rosh Hashanah packages for American military service members.
