Shaping The Future

For more than a century, Yeshiva University has promoted scholarship and activism to enrich American Jewish Orthodoxy in changing times and a rapidly evolving world. Now, with the launch of the Center for the Jewish Future, the university unifies its multifaceted efforts to shape and impact the Jewish future. The Center will harness the intellect, passion and compassion of our students, faculty and staff -- along with that of the extended community -- into a comprehensive series of initiatives that better enable us to articulate a vision for the future and work together to make it a reality. -Rabbi Kenneth Brander, Dean, Center for the Jewish Future
