Message from President Richard M. JoelIt is with great pleasure that Yeshiva University partners with the Los Angeles community tobring you this remarkable Shabbat. Throughout the weekend, in every corner of the community,you will have the opportunity to hear exceptional Torah from some of the leading roshei yeshivaand scholars at Yeshiva University. For me, what is even more significant than the impact of thisweekend, is the ongoing synergy between Los Angeles and Yeshiva. I delight in knowing that ourrabbis and educators fill the ranks of your shuls and schools; that so many of your childrenemerge from Yeshiva as serious Jews and leaders; that our Center for the Jewish Future deliversto your community meaningful learning and programming that advance our shared values; thatour Institute for University-School Partnership sustains your day schools and yeshivas andimproves student outcomes in measurable ways – the list goes on and on. Together wechampion an integrated life through which we can impact the Jewish community and humanityin ways wondrous.At Yeshiva University, we nurture the leaders of tomorrow. The dual curriculum, ourexceptional roshei yeshiva and faculty, the myriad leadership opportunities and the Torahenvironment in which our students live coalesce to create a whole student. Our undergraduatecampuses hum with the constant energy of a student body taking the reins of the Jewish future. Iinvite all our friends in Los Angeles to participate in any and all of our programming in thecommunity and to experience firsthand the dynamism that is Yeshiva University.On a personal note, I am grateful for the collaboration and dedication of our esteemed hostcommittee - Rabbi Moshe Benzaquen, Rabbi Asher Brander, Rabbi Alan Kalinsky, Rabbi YosefKanefsky Rabbi Daniel Korobkin Rabbi Yaakov Krause, Rabbi Elazar Muskin, Rabbi DovidRevah, Rabbi Jonathan Rosenberg, and Rabbi Kalman Topp - a group whom individually andcollectively represent the best of our people.I am also delighted to introduce Sarah Emerson Helfand, who will serve as YU’s inaugural WestCoast Regional Director.
