My Dear Friends,

As we usher in the new year, please accept my profound gratitude for your enduring support and partnership.

Yeshiva University has celebrated a year characterized by historic growth, innovation, and accomplishment. These achievements, detailed in the President's Report (click here or on the photo at the right), serve as a testament to our commitment to excellence and our unwavering dedication to the core Torah values that guide us.

Our achievements are manifold, with record-breaking undergraduate enrollment and an over 90% surge in graduate program enrollment since 2017.

Our students' success upon graduation is similarly noteworthy, with an undergraduate acceptance rate to medical school double the national average and 97.6% of YU undergraduates finding success within six months of graduation, either in employment, graduate studies, or both.

The Rise Up Campaign has been a beacon of support and commitment, raising over $350 million toward our $613 million goal. Through this campaign's success, we have expanded scholarship programs, modernized our campus facilities and attracted and retained our esteemed faculty.

Today, as we reflect on our achievements and the journey ahead, I want to emphasize the impact of philanthropy on our mission. Your generous support ensures that the seeds of the next generation are nurtured, allowing us to continue shaping the Jewish future and contributing to society at large.

The best investment in the future of the Jewish people is ensuring the success of our children. Our students are the leaders of tomorrow. During this time of the Aseret Yemei Teshuvah when we consider how best to make a difference in the lives of others, I invite you to partner with us by considering a meaningful donation. Especially if you are an alumnus, parent, or grandparent of an alumnus who has benefited from the support of others in the past, please consider paying it forward, tending to the next generation and ensuring the continuity of our mission.

Your contributions empower our students and are instrumental in shaping the Jewish future. Together, we can continue to rise and create a better tomorrow.

May this year be filled with purpose, health and sweetness for you and your loved ones.

My warmest wishes for a gmar chatimah tovah,
