We’re supposed to be out of Egypt!’ Every year we said, ‘This will be our last year; we’ll go to Jerusalem.’ But even though they hated us, they made it hard for us to leave.” Jews in Egypt 9 Nisan 5777 25 Book to print.indb 25 3/30/2017 12:18:06 PM LEAVING EGYPT Shaar Hashomayim Synagogue in Cairo ike their Biblical forerunners, the Egyptians of the twentieth century temporarily played host to the Jewish people — close to 80,000 of them by the early 1940s. And like their Biblical ancestors, the Jews of Egypt eventually left the country in a hurry, though without the great wealth and miraculous wonders that had accompanied their nation over 3,000 years earlier. Here Inyan presents a kaleidoscope of proud shomrei Torah u’mitzvos who share memories of their lives in Egypt and the modern-day exodus they experienced. Upper-Class Society Calling them “Egyptian” is almost a misnomer, as the Jews of Egypt were in fact an amalgam of immigrants from Middle- Eastern countries like Syria, Turkey, Iran and Morocco. They spoke French at home, or even Ladino; Arabic was the language of the street.

  • The Yeshiva College Student Senate Stop Simplifying the Problem
    FEBRUARY 8, 2016 TheHow to be an accountant OMMENTATORKey Career Guidance For Volume LXXXI CThe Independent Student Newspaper of Yeshiva College, Sy Syms School of Business, and Yeshiva University • www.yucommentator.org Issue 6 From the President’s Desk: YCSA - The Yeshiva College Student Senate By Josh Nagel The New York Times in May 1969 published an article about Yeshiva University. No, not about a scandal, but rather about Yeshiva President Dr. Samuel Belkin’s approval to create a college senate comprised of students, faculty, and administrators at Yeshiva College. The Times called it “one of the most ambitious and far-reaching in the nation… [going] far beyond the formulas adopted at other universi- ties.” Universities across America established sen- ates around that time as well - many in response to violent student protests against administrators’ deci- sions - but Yeshiva’s model seemed to significantly expand the powers of the student body, without the pressure from protests. At first, the Yeshiva College Senate operated as a policy-making body, whose decisions became Col- lege policy, unless vetoed by President Belkin or the majority of the Faculty Assembly. After a few years, the Senate lost this absolute power, but remained in an influential advisory capacity. As the founding stu- dent leaders of the Senate noted, once the students, faculty, and administration representatives on the Senate approved a recommendation, the university community would have a hard time ignoring it. The Senate acted as a forum to share the respon- sibilities “for the operations and improvement of the College among the groups that constitute the College” (Constitution of the Yeshiva College Senate, 1969).

The last car has left. The last piece of lost & found has been found. The last knish has been knished. The last splash in the pool has been splashed. The last squirt of hand sanitizer has been squirted. And to think that just 9 weeks ago we weren’t sure that we would be allowed to have camp this summer! B”H Simcha Zoom Camp never had to happen! On one hand, I reflect on the massive amounts of pumping ruach we enjoyed throughout the past 8 weeks. The hilarious dress up days, the shows, the crazy lunch challenges, the giant 50 foot slide at carnival, the Seasons Express trips for Simcha Bucks, the pies of pizza, the sodas, the amazing canteen, $36,500 that we raised for Chai Lifeline, the sports, the leagues and the swimming. And how can I forget the greatest COLOR WAR EVER! All these events were experienced with just the right amount of competitiveness, excitement and middos that are a trademark of SDC. Every camper has grown in some way, whether in sports ability, swimming levels or connection to Hashem and learning his Torah in our Learning Groups. But now what? Now it’s back to serious old life, with teachers and books, homework and looks, ifyouknowwhatimean! I won’t be greeting carpools of excited campers each morning as they rush inside to daven, learn and play.
