To address the critical need for affordable, English-language mental health services in Israel, Yeshiva University, in partnership with Amudim Israel, is set to launch the Jerusalem Therapy Center in September 2022. The Center will provide professional care for English speakers, including gap-year students and Israelis, addressing the growing demand for mental health counseling heightened by prolonged lockdowns and the stresses induced by the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors.
The Jerusalem Therapy Center, a collaboration between the Wurzweiler School of Social Work and Amudim Israel, will be staffed by Wurzweiler graduate students, recent graduates, and other professionals specializing in various modalities such as addiction, anxiety, and trauma. This partnership aims to address the pressing mental health needs of English-speaking immigrants in Israel, offering support to those psychologically affected by the pandemic, gap-year students facing the challenges of being away from home, and new immigrants adapting to life in Israel.
Dr. Selma Botman, provost and vice president for academic affairs, emphasized Wurzweiler's unique position to educate the next generation of mental health professionals while providing high-level services to the community in Israel. The initiative aligns with Yeshiva University's broader mission of serving the needs of individuals in Israel, reflecting the institution's commitment to delivering exceptional training, support, and expertise.
The Center will particularly focus on gap-year students, offering affordable and quality mental health care to this vulnerable population who are often away from their families and support systems for the first time. This initiative recognizes the unique challenges faced by these students, who may not be covered for mental health counseling by tourist/temporary health insurance, providing them with vital support.
Nechama Munk, senior program director of Wurzweiler in Israel, highlighted the real need for mental health services in the English-speaking community in Israel, especially during challenging times. The Therapy Center aims to offer relief and hope, acknowledging that obtaining good, affordable treatment is challenging for all Israelis and even more so for those whose mother tongue isn't Hebrew.
In response to the increased rates of anxiety and depression since the onset of the pandemic, the Jerusalem Therapy Center aims to contribute to the worldwide call for stepped-up mental health services and support. While COVID did not create new mental health issues, it exacerbated existing difficulties, making accessible and quality mental health services more necessary than ever.
The Jerusalem Therapy Center will also serve other often overlooked demographics, including soldiers struggling with PTSD and individuals making aliya who find the financial, cultural, and psychological stress overwhelming. This broader focus ensures that various segments of the population facing mental health challenges receive the support they need.
Beyond addressing immediate mental health needs, the Jerusalem Therapy Center will create long-term benefits by providing English-speaking clinical fieldwork placements for Wurzweiler graduate students, supervised by experienced clinicians. This not only helps students gain valuable skills but also allows them to give back to the community.
The Jerusalem Therapy Center will offer training and enrichment seminars for gap-year administrators, educators, directors, and therapists, providing them with the tools to guide students who may be struggling. This comprehensive approach ensures that professionals working with vulnerable populations receive the necessary training to support those facing mental health challenges.
Despite a nationwide drop in college enrollment, Yeshiva University celebrated a record-breaking academic year with a remarkable 20 percent increase in undergraduate enrollment from fall 2021 to fall 2022. The upward trend is anticipated to continue in fall 2023, with applications surging over 10 percent from the previous year. This growth in both quantity and quality is a stark contrast to the 8 percent decline in college enrollment nationwide from 2019 to 2022, marking the worst plunge ever recorded.
Yeshiva University's success in enrollment is attributed to a substantial rise in national rankings, as it climbed 30 spots in the U.S. News & World Report's Best Colleges ranking since 2020, now standing at #7 among universities with undergraduate enrollment less than 5,000. This places YU alongside prestigious institutions such as MIT, Caltech, and Dartmouth, appealing to students seeking a top-tier education and individualized attention to research.
Notably, the Rise Up Campaign, with a fundraising goal of $613 million, has significantly contributed to Yeshiva University's success, surpassing the halfway mark with over $350 million raised in the past year. The campaign, launched last year, reflects the generosity of YU's alumni and friends network, showcasing the community's commitment to the university's growth and success.
Yeshiva University's academic excellence is reflected in its graduates' success, with a placement rate of 97.6% within six months of graduation, including employment offers and admissions to graduate schools. Graduates secure positions in world-class companies such as Amazon, Twitter, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, and Google, highlighting the value of a YU education in the professional world.
YU's commitment to a holistic student experience is evident in the wide range of fields students explore, from intensive Torah studies to cutting-edge research in business, entrepreneurship, psychology, pre-medicine, cybersecurity, and history. For instance, Yeshiva University's Bachelor's in Computer Science offers an innovative curriculum tailored for students to transition seamlessly into top-tier jobs in the New Economy.
The university's warm and welcoming community, boasting over 150 student-run organizations and clubs, contributes to an enriching student life experience Students engage in various extracurricular activities, including politics, Holocaust education, journalism, medical ethics, music, and the arts, fostering a close-knit sense of community.
ntegral to YU's exceptional undergraduate experience is the exposure to renowned Torah faculty, including world-class Roshei Yeshiva, Poskim, and Torah educators who interact with and teach undergrads regularly. This interaction provides students, including those returning from intensive Torah study in Israel, with unique learning and growth opportunities to progress in their religious studies and Jewish lives.
Thanks to the continued success of the Rise Up Campaign, YU has increased its scholarship programs, ensuring greater affordability for its growing student body. The campaign has not only contributed to financial assistance but has also propelled Yeshiva University to become a home for a record number of new students, emphasizing the invaluable educational opportunity it presents.
Recognizing the importance of a Jewish education and environment during formative years, parents are drawn to Yeshiva University, especially amid growing antisemitism both domestically and abroad. Geri Mansdorf, Assistant Vice President of Enrollment, notes that these college years have an extraordinary impact on shaping individuals' identities, and YU provides a safe place for students to forge their adult identities rooted in Jewish values.
In conclusion, Yeshiva University stands as a flagship Jewish university, offering an unparalleled combination of a world-class college education and a world-class yeshiva, creating a supportive community for shomrei Torah and mitzvot. As the Rise Up Campaign propels YU to new heights, its unique value, both in academic and religious dimensions, continues to attract students, making it a gateway to enormous professional and personal success.

Data is the information economy’s fuel; like solar energy, it is a renewable resource that can benefit everyone at once without being diminished. Companies want to harvest as much data about people as possible to target them for advertisements, track high-traffic areas in stores or show us more cat videos to keep us on their site longer. Data provides a record of what has already happened, but its main value comes from improved decision-making and
predictive capabilities. Major companies choose products and prices based on what you, and others like you, bought in the past. Your data improves their decision-making, boosting corporate profits.
