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

6 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.

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 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 commen­taries, Codes and Responsa literature, supplemented by pre­paration 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 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 Leaders This 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 Supporting Rabbis, Rebbetzins, Educators and Lay Leaders and Partnering with Communities The 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 University The 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.
