My Dear Friends, Welcome to the 101st Hanukkah Dinner of Yeshiva University. Tonight, as we enter the second century of this cher- ished tradition, we gather to celebrate the extraordinary growth, strength, and promise of our University. This is a moment of pride, joy, and profound gratitude for all that has been built and all that lies ahead. This year’s Second Century Dinner shines a light on the unparalleled impact of Yeshiva University on the future of the Jewish people and the world of higher education. We are advancing innovation in the health sciences, fostering academic excellence, elevating Jewish and global leadership, and preparing the next generation of students to lead lives of purpose guided by our timeless core values. Now more than ever, Yeshiva University stands as the premier university that champions Israel and shapes the moral, intellectual, and spiritual landscape of the leaders of tomorrow. We are profoundly honored to welcome His Excellency Isaac Herzog, President of the State of Israel, as our keynote speaker and Honorary Doctorate recipient. His presence reflects the enduring and sacred bond between the State of Israel and Yeshiva University and affirms our shared mission to uplift humanity through wisdom, integrity, and moral courage. President Herzog’s sterling character and lifelong commit- ment to the Jewish people continues
