ISRAEL DAY PARADE
Rabbi Dr. Ari Berman
Fifth President of Yeshiva University
Today in the streets of New York, Jews of every background — and our allies — stood together with joy, pride and clarity.
Israel is one of the most extraordinary stories in the modern world: an ancient people returning home; a democracy built on freedom and purpose; a small nation whose innovation blesses all humanity.
It is a story of courage, sacrifice, faith, family, memory, and hope.
Am Yisrael Chai.
The voices of our graduates tell the story best: YU is where purpose, community, and values-driven education come to life.

Zevi Samet is an inspiration.
The Monsey Mamba and Mitzvah Machine is a true Ambassador of Torah.
So proud of all he has accomplished during his years at Yeshiva University — and the joy, warmth and closeness to Hashem he has inspired along the way.
