Nota de la solapa:

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SIXTY-FOUR FORMER STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND FRIENDS GET TOGETHER TO REMINSCE ABOUT THEIR YESHIVA COLLEGE DAYS? — Founded in 1928 as the first college of liberal arts and sciences in America under Jewish auspices, Yeshiva College has served, for over seventy-five years, as the central address for Torah u-Madda—the combination of Jewish and secular learning—in the United States and around the world. With only a first graduating class of less than twenty, Yeshiva College today boasts close to eight hundred students, all enrolled in the undergraduate dual program. From within its hallowed walls on Yeshiva University’s Washington Heights campus, Yeshiva College continues to educate and fashion some of the most significant and renown leaders of today and tomorrow. My Yeshiva College: 75 Years of Memories celebrates the past seventy-years of Yeshiva College, written from the perspective of former students and faculty members—many of whom still teach at and are involved with Yeshiva today. The volume follows the course of the College’s history, beginning with the nascent years under founder and first president Rabbi Dr. Bernard Revel, into the years of rapid growth under Rabbi Dr. Samuel Belkin, and into the last two and half decades of leadership under Rabbi Dr. Norman Lamm. The memories shared highlight the panoptic fabric of Yeshiva’s intellectual tapestry—roshei yeshiva and professors, the beit midrash and the academy, the combined ethos of the Yeshiva and the College. In their depictions, each contributor explores what Yeshiva meant to them then and now. In doing so though, the writers featured in this volume collectively highlight the essence of the Yeshiva College education, and the continued pursuit of the Torah u-Madda ethos, illustrated by a will to succeed in the communal and professional world and the desire to cultivate lives of profound meaning. Their portrayals of life at Yeshiva remarkably convey the commonalities inherent among those who have studied here, while affirming the distinctive individuality of each experience. Drawing on various events, personalities, and memories, My Yeshiva College presents a vibrant portrait of the many that have lived, taught, and learned at Yeshiva College. This book of vivid, personal memories reveals the influential role Yeshiva College has played in the educating generations of American Jews, and the intellectual, social, and religious challenges it continues to face.---------- Yeshiva University, now in its 120th year, is the country’s oldest and most comprehensive institution combining Jewish scholarship with academic excellence and achievement in the liberal arts, sciences, medicine, law, business, social works, Jewish studies and education, and psychology. Its three undergraduate colleges—Yeshiva College, Stern College for Women, and Sy Syms School of Business—form the backbone of the university’s ethos, Torah u-Madda, the dual pursuit of traditional Jewish learning and secular wisdom. Consistently ranked among the top 50 universities by U.S. News and World Report, Yeshiva boasts a network of renowned graduate schools and affiliates, including the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies, Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, Wurzweiler School of Social Work, Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary, the Philip and Sarah Belz School of Jewish Music, and Yeshiva University High Schools.
