"More than 3,000 people attended the sold-out concert and were visibly moved by Ishay Ribo's ability to distill the poetry and holiness of Judaism into song," the statement read. "Many of those who attended were YU students studying in Israel and some of the thousands of YU alumni who have made aliyah, as well as other Israelis eager to enjoy the music and experience this unique cultural event."
According to the university, this is only one of the "numerous educational, cultural, and business initiatives" it has embarked on in Israel, with the concert spotlighting the "dynamic partnership between the university and Israel."
