Yeshiva University is pleased to announce its newest and most exciting community learning initiative - KOLLEL YOM RISHON!Finally, someone realized that the way to get alumni donations is to 1) maintain a connection with alumni so that they will be more receptive to solicitations and 2) become a presence in the Orthodox community so that the general community will feel a connection to the school. Kudos to the new regime for this.
Come and experience the Torah of Yeshiva every Sunday morning in YU's Main Beit Midrash! Every week features a short seder followed by 2 shiurim from YU roshei yeshiva. The Kollel Yom Rishon Program is open to men of all ages, backgrounds and learning levels.
