Picture this: An international student is eating dinner in the cafeteria. He is not wearing a kippah, and an American student approaches him in order to make the international student aware of its absence. The American admonishes the international student, maintaining that it is inappropriate to eat without a kippah.
Opinions - here at YU we have no shortage of them. You needn't have already taken statistics to know that if two Jews have three of them, over 3,000 undergrads (as of last fall) will have more than enough. You also needn't have taken economics to know that talk is cheap.
Summer is coming to a close and another school year is starting. The end of summer evokes many feelings and emotions, none of which is excitement for the upcoming school year. Sitting on Amsterdam Avenue as orientation was going on gave me a renewed sense of happiness and hope that this year will be full of new friendships and fulfilling experiences.
Message from the S.O.Y. President: Jeremy Weg First off, I would like to welcome everyone back to Yeshiva. For all those who are new to the college, make yourselves at home! Last semester, I held my first ever Student Organization of Yeshiva meeting. I remember sitting down at the table with my board-Vice President Shloimie Zeffrin, Secretary Jason Jacobs, and Treasurer Eitan Buchbinder-and one of the first questions that I asked them was, "How do we achieve unity?" As you may recall, unity was my campaign platform.
Welcome to Yeshiva as we begin Academic Year 2008-2009, Elul, and soon, 5769. Beginnings are time for optimism. Beginnings are times for exploration. Beginnings are times for planning. Now is a time to think about our goals for the year and how we can achieve them.
Barrack Obama might be right. If ever there was a time for change we can believe in, it would seem to be now. At the Wilf Campus, anyhow. These days nowhere is more ripe for change than the Y part of YU, and things already seem headed in the right direction.
