Benefactors

Every gift to Yeshiva University makes a difference but Yeshiva University benefactors, donors with lifetime cumulative gifts equaling over a million dollars, have enormous impact on our schools. Benefactors enable us to implement larger initiatives and respond quickly to new opportunities. Many benefactors also serve in leadership roles at Yeshiva University. It is with utmost gratitude that we thank them for the multifaceted role they play in making sure our University is a success.

Michael Gamson, one of YU’s newest members of the Board of Trustees, is proud to continue the philanthropic legacy of his father, Dr. Bernard W. Gamson, a”h, one of YU’s biggest friends for many years and a longtime member of Yeshiva College’s Board of Directors. Dr. Gamson passed away in 2000. Read more about Gamson here. 

One of our most recent benefactors is Rhoda Levine. Levine, 78, has given generously to Stern College for Women (SCW) over the past four years. Her reasoning is simple: "I support Jewish education, and Stern is one of the only places where young Jewish women can learn Jewish subjects, as well as secular, on such a high level."
