Inspired by the renowned figure of faith in the public square, YU's new Lieberman-Mitzner Center for Public Service and Advocacy will develop the next generation of government leaders and public advocates, with a national and international focus, who are deeply rooted in Jewish values and tradition.
"Yeshiva University is where the next generation of leaders are nourished, educated and inspired to lead lives of influence and impact," YU President Ari Berman said. "But Yeshiva University is more than that. In a topsy-turvy world in which Hamas is hallowed as heroes and innocent Israeli children are portrayed as villains, Yeshiva University stands for something even greater—the Truth. It is the truth that motivates our unwavering support for Israel. It is the truth that animates our commitment to Torah. It is the search for truth that drives our top-tier research in all our undergraduate and graduate schools. And the truth is that the world needs Yeshiva University now more than ever as the Flagship Jewish University."
