Summer Highlights
• Summer Internship: Twenty-two YU students gained invaluable insights into the Israeli startup culture through summer internships at these Israeli companies and organizations: DLA Piper (international law), Sapir Venture Partners (venture capital), Provation Life (women’s health), The Times of Israel (journalism), Nefesh B’Nefesh (non-profit) and the Zomet Institute (researching and implementing Halacha and technological issues).
• Archaeological Fieldwork Investigation: Under the guidance of Dr. Jill Katz, professor of archaeology at YU, and Dr. Steven Fine, director of YU’s Center for Israel Studies, 10 Jewish history students embarked on an awe-inspiring journey of discovery through an archaeological dig at the base of Har Habayit—Judaism’s holiest ancient site in the heart of Jerusalem. Through this immersive experience, students connected with the ancient roots of the Jewish people, gaining a deeper under- standing of the cultural heritage that binds them to the Land of Israel.
• The Power of Research at Bar-Ilan: Thirty YU students immersed themselves in a rigorous eight-week study experience at Bar-Ilan University, conducting research and experiments in state-of-the-art labs. The program nurtured students’ intellectual curiosity and furthered their skills in critical thinking and problem-solving.
A Trip to Central America To Learn, Help and Inspire
From May 31 through June 12, a cohort of 34 YU under- graduate students participated in the Torat Adam Summer Experience (TASE) with a unique and rewarding trip to Guatemala and El Salvador. Led by Rabbi Daniel Coleman, assistant director of career advising at the Shevet Glaubach Center for Career Strategy and Professional Development (SGC), the students volunteered in clinics, hospitals, and schools. The trip was arranged thanks to a partnership between the SGC and YU’s Department of Sociology, as well as through the generous support of the Rabbi Arthur Schneier Program for International Affairs.
