Iyyar 5772 • May 2012
Dear Friends, As we near the end of this academic year and set our horizons on the summer ahead, we are as proud as ever of the efforts underway to provide outstanding leadership opportunities to students and Jewish professionals alike. Our students can choose from different service learning missions to locations including Haiti as well as summer learning and internship initiatives around the United States including Kansas City, Atlanta, Houston, and Los Angeles, or they can opt to be a part of our exciting Counterpoint Israel program which will be expanding from two to five development towns this summer. Opportunities like these truly help our students explore their potential to be agents of change in this world. On the professional front, 23 different Jewish communal professionals will be joining our second cohort of the Certificate Program in Experiential Jewish Education and will do their part to professionalize and advance this exciting field. And an august group of pulpit rabbis and educators will shortly complete a series of special programs hosted by the CJF, in partnership with the Tikvah Fund, focused on enhancing their skills as public intellectuals and communal visionaries. We invite you to take advantage of our upcoming Shavuot To-Go, our monthly Shabbat Table Conversations and visit us at anytime at YUTorah.com.
