36 Yeshiva University s Center for the Jewish Future Rabbi Kenneth Brander, MA The David Mitzner Dean Wilf Campus Office of the Dean: Sol and Hilda Furst Hall, 500 West 185th Street Manhattan Room ext See map, page 46 The Center for the Jewish Future (CJF) is located at the Wilf campus. Its mission is to shape, enrich and inspire the contemporary Jewish community by convening the resources of Yeshiva University. The CJF infuses the student body with a spirit of leadership and responsibility to Klal Yisrael [people of Israel] and society; builds, cultivates and supports communities and their lay leaders and rabbinic leadership; and creates a global movement that promotes the values of Yeshiva University, including Torah Umadda and Religious Zionism. Inspiring New Leaders This center prepares college and graduate students to become Jewish leaders. In particular, service learning programs at home and abroad over winter and summer breaks encourage students to explore issues of aiding the Jewish community and tikkun olam [healing the world]. Several initiatives identify potential leaders, encouraging them to consider Jewish communal work and offering them an unmatched program of professional training in cooperation with the various graduate schools of the University. The CJF strengthens the Jewish educational experiences of students in high schools throughout North America through informal educational programs that focus on leadership skills, Jewish values and Torah study. 33

37 Supporting Rabbis, Rebbetzins, Educators and Lay Leaders and Partnering with Communities The CJF serves as the community arm of the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary, offering continuing professional education to rabbis, rebbetzins, educators and lay leaders through a number of annual programs. Yarchei Kallah [spiritual retreats] give rabbis and their wives an opportunity to enrich their Torah knowledge and network with one another. Executive Rabbinic Seminars bring rabbis and lay leaders together for training in strategic planning, leadership, management dynamics and board development. A tool box of services features a University Speakers Bureau, Community Growth Initiative, personal coaching for rabbis and lay leaders and consultation opportunities for communities. A national conference convenes communal leaders for dialogue on pertinent issues regarding the Jewish community. Through the center, YU has established kollelim [institutes of advanced learning] in South Florida, Chicago and Dallas, where members of the local community learn with RIETS graduates. The Morris and Gertrude Bienenfeld Department of Jewish Career Development and Placement offers rabbis, administrators and educators career guidance and placement. Promoting the Values of Yeshiva University The center has developed a wide variety of initiatives to further the unique values of Yeshiva University. A Web site devoted to Torah learning, YUTorah.org, and a Holiday- To-Go Series make the shiurim [lectures] of YU s roshei yeshiva [professors of Talmud] and other Torah personalities available for downloading. A Sunday morning Torah learning program brings hundreds of men and women together for shiurim on the Wilf Campus and in various regions of North America. The CJF looks for practical solutions to such contemporary issues as medical ethics and the tuition crisis through research and dialogue. 34
