The land of Israel and the state of Israel are central to the future of the Jewish people, and have always been central to the reality of the Yeshiva University Community. Let’s make YU the address in New York for Israel events and Israel conversations.
President Richard M. Joel, 2003 Installation Address

The land and State of Israel are central to the future vision of the Jewish people and have always been central to the YU community.

More than 800 students and 3,000 alumni live and learn in Israel. In New York our undergraduates constitute the largest body of pro-Israel students on any campus outside of Israel.
