Gannon does three hour shifts a week taking the subway at a m to Far Rockaway a three hour ride one way from the Bronx
On the way in she listens to her favorite musicians Hozier and Noah Kahan and on the way home she writes up her notes on patient diagnoses tests procedures and medications since it fresh in her mind
At the end of her clinical rotation she ll be tested in class on what she learned
Oxilas said the Katz School PA program is exceptional for its commitment to educating PAs to become culturally competent so they can provide appropriate treatment to diverse communities that are lacking adequate health care
Our students enthusiastically help patients in any way they can whether it be coming up with differential diagnoses creating treatment plans performing therapeutic and diagnostic procedures or completing even simple tasks such as grabbing a blanket for a patient he said
Gannon said the Katz School PA program has taught her to think holistically about patient care the physical psychological emotional and spiritual dimensions of care that lead to recovery
Scheduled to graduate in December she excited for the next clinical rotation where she ll be exposed to the demands of another discipline such as endocrinology or pediatrics
She wants to experience a range of disciplines before she makes a career decision but at least for now her heart seems intent on emergency care
Working in the emergency department and seeing the role that PAs play is inspiring said Gannon
I really love critical care
and I like interacting with trauma patients in the inner city
Six years in the emergency department is like years in any other department
It has everything
t is sometimes said that Rabbi Kook is for Israeli religious zionists what Rabbi Joseph B Soloveitchik was for modern orthodox American Jews
To what extent was the Rav like the Rav It could be argued that Rav Kook and the Rav are the major thinkers of modern Judaism in the th century
They tackled important ideas of Jewish nationality identity and zionism and much more then that they thought seriously about creative confrontation with secularism
Rabbi Kook writings are sometimes esoteric and difficult to interpret
Some of his works seem to contradict eachother
What was the methodology of the course
What works have students studied in class Rav Kook wrote a lot
Some of his writing is essayist and some is exegetical
A lot is private in diary format
Those personal writings we have from notebooks and letters preserved by Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Kook and the Nazir
Rabbi David Cohen
Because those writings were not writen for the broader public they are difficult to interpret
Those writings presuppose that the audience has had mystical training and familiarity with topics discussed
Thus Rav Kook is not easy to read
A lot of the course was reading trying to figure out the meaning of a piece and its intended audience
We mostly explored essays from when Rav Kook penned many of his boldest ideas some of which were not published within his lifetime
One of our main area of focus were Rav Kook writings on the philosophy of halakha.In Orot HaKodesh a compilation of Rav Kook philosophical writings published by Rabbi David Cohen we explored Rav Kook approach to the nature of knowledge the nature of the world and ethics
Here at YU we emphasize the union of Torah Umadda Jewish tradition with secular knowledge what was Rav Kook approach to Torah Umadda Rav Kook was inclined to the view that all ideas have some kernel of truth and that conflicting ideas within religion such as hassidim and misnagdim the anti hasidic movement each have their own strengths and limitations
He approached differing philosophies the same way and it was a big part of his unique approach to secular Zionism
Rav Kook learned to be melamed zechut to expound the positive aspects regarding the often militantly anti religious sacular Zionists
Rav Kook notes that the may be bothered by parts of the Jewish religion that develop in galut the diaspora such as passivity and cloistering in the Bet Midrash ignoring the larger public arena
Rav Kook learned to appreciate what they were doing in cultivating Israel as positive and view their rejection of religion as resulting from a failure to see the broader picture
He saw their modern activism as corrective to the limited passivity of diasporic Jewish attitudes.What do you hope students gained from the course.There are several things.One is knowledge of the material.Students should know Rav Kook and not merely what people say about Rav Kook
Next has to do with developing critical acumen.We examined to what extent were his arguments made based on assumptions about the people of his time
In doing so students have greater understanding of the kind of issues people confronted in the th century.Last but not least learning not to be afraid to take the book in your own hands and read it On Wednesday May Yeshiva University Zahava and Moshael Straus Center for Torah and Western Thought Rabbi Arthur Schneier Program for International Affairs and Bernard Revel Graduate School of Judaic Studies in conjunction with the Mohamed Bin Zayed University for Humanities hosted a historic event bridging cultures and religious identities at the Crossroads of Civilization Museum in Dubai
Titled Interacting Philosophies Shared Friendships the program began with opening remarks by Ahmed Obaid Al Mansoori the museum founder
Citing the Quran teaching O mankind indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another Mansoori explained that fostering relationships with different cultures and religions is a foundational principle of the Islamic faith and that the conference was a reflection of this value
Rabbi Stuart Halpern then offered words of greeting on behalf of both the Office of the Provost and the Straus Center
Describing the Jewish practice of Sefirat Ha Omer the counting of days from enslavement in Egypt to Revelation at Sinai he explained that we count up to as opposed to down to one to symbolize aspiring towards greater heights while remaining faithful to our roots
We stand here tonight he said in appreciation of the history that has come before us as we the Jewish and Islamic communities embark on a brighter future
Following greetings from the deputy mayor of Jerusalem Fleur Hassan Nahoum Revel dean Daniel Rynhold offered the program first lecture
Discussing Maimonides and the Parable of the Sultan Palace he offered a contextual analysis of how the parable found at the end of Maimonides major philosophical work The Guide for the Perplexed likely reflected Maimonides own balancing of his busy medical and communal work with divine contemplation
Ibrahim Burshashen then delivered a talk in Arabic on the strong influence the Islamic philosopher Ibn Rushd had on Maimonides Guide.Burshashen colleague Haider Hussain followed with a discussion of The Role and Impact of Islamic Civilization on Jewish Philosophy A Look at the Joint Interaction with Moses Ben Maimon as an Example
He stressed the great appreciation and humility one gains in studying the interactions of Jewish and Islamic cultures ending with the commendation God bless Maimonides
Every person who serves humThe last two speakers from Yeshiva University were Ronnie Perelis of the Schneier Program and Shira Weiss from the Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks Herenstein Center for Values and Leadership
Perelis spoke about A Global Society A Cosmopolitan History of the Jewish Muslim Encounter
His talk examined how from Baghdad to Basra Arabic was the conducive language of connection and consumerism for Muslims and non Muslims alike
Perelis then related how Judeo Arabic not only immensely affected Jewish understanding and participation in Arabic culture but also transformed Jewish literature grammar linguistics and poetry
I look forward to more transformations coming about through our encounters he concluded through our coming to listen to the other to appreciate the other on their own terms and to share our own journeys our own struggles and our own questions and to find solutions together
Weiss concluded by offered an analysis of The Influence of Ibn Rushd on the Philosophy of Joseph Albo
Highlighting Albo The Book of Principles Weiss credited Ibn Rushd with inspiring the Jewish philosopher articulation of three major principles of Acknowledgment of God the Truth of Prophecy and Reward and Punishment anity is a blessing from God
It was an additionally edifying experience to visit Abu Dhabi the day following the conference
There the group toured the newly built synagogue in the Abrahamic Family House met officials at the Ministry of Tolerance and attended the first ever celebration of Israel Independence Day in the UAE
As Straus student Ruchama Benhamou put it The Straus Scholars Program has been instrumental in expanding my intellectual horizons and providing unique educational opportunities that have shaped my perspectives on ideas and empowered me in my religious and academic pursuits
The UAE experience was truly transformative and I am immensely humbled to have participated in events that will fashion the future for positive Muslim Jewish relations
As Weiss concluded after the trip YU conference with Mohamed Bin Zayed University offered members of both universities as well as those in attendance from Dubai Muslim and Jewish communities an opportunity to share philosophies build relationships and develop future collaborations
Beyond the conference visiting the Ministry of Tolerance and the Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi which includes a mosque church and synagogue followed by the Israeli Embassy celebration of Israel th provided an incredible glimpse of the emerging possibilities in the UAE

Dear Students Faculty Staff and Friends I am pleased to present to you this Guide to our plans for the upcoming fall semester and reopening of our campuses
In form and in content this coming semester will be like no other
We will live differently work differently and learn differently
But in its very difference rests its enormous power
The mission of Yeshiva University is to enrich the moral intellectual and spiritual development of each of our students empowering them with the knowledge and abilities to become people of impact and leaders of tomorrow
Next year studies will be especially instrumental in shaping the course of our students lives
Character is formed and developed in times of deep adversity
This is the kind of teachable moment that Yeshiva University was made for
As such we have developed an educational plan for next year that features a high quality student experience and prioritizes personal growth during this Coronavirus era
Our students will be able to work through the difficulties issues and opportunities posed by our COVID era with our stellar rabbis and faculty as well as their close friends and peers at Yeshiva
To develop our plans for the fall we have convened a Scenario Planning Task Force made up of representatives across the major areas of our campus
Their planning has been guided by the latest medical information government directives direct input from our rabbis faculty and students and best practices from industry and university leaders across the country
I am deeply thankful to our task force members and all who supported them for their tireless work in addressing the myriad details involved in bringing students back to campus and restarting our educational enterprise
In concert with the recommendations from our task force I am announcing today that our fall semester will reflect a hybrid model
It will allow many students to return in a careful way by incorporating online and virtual learning with on campus classroom instruction
It also enables students who prefer to not be on campus to have a rich student experience by continuing their studies online and benefitting from a full range of online student services and extracurricular programs
In bringing our students back to campus safety is our first priority
Many aspects of campus life will change for this coming semester
Gatherings will be limited larger courses will move completely online
Throughout campus everyone will need to adhere to our medical guidelines including social distancing wearing facemasks and our testing and contact tracing policies
Due to our focus on minimizing risk our undergraduate students will begin the first few weeks of the fall semester online and move onto the campus after the Jewish holidays
This schedule will limit the amount of back and forth travel for our students by concentrating the on campus component of the fall semester to one consecutive segment
Throughout our planning we have used the analogy of a dimmer switch
Reopening our campuses will not be a simple binary like an on off light switch but more like a dimmer in which we have the flexibility to scale backwards and forwards to properly respond as the health situation evolves
It is very possible that some plans could change depending upon the progression of the virus and or applicable state and local government guidance
Before our semester begins we will provide more updates reflecting our most current guidance
Please check our website yu edu fall for regular updates
We understand that even after reading through this guide you might have many additional questions so we will be posting an extensive FAQ section online as well
Additionally we will also be holding community calls for faculty students staff and parents over the next couple of months
Planning for the future during this moment has certainly been humbling
This Coronavirus has reminded us time and time again of the lessons from our Jewish tradition that we are not in full control of our circumstances
But our tradition also teaches us that we are in control of our response to our circumstances
Next semester will present significant challenges and changes
There will be some compromises and minor inconveniences not every issue has a perfect solution
But faith and fortitude mutual cooperation and resilience are essential life lessons that are accentuated during this period
And if we all commit to respond with graciousness kindness and love we can transform new campus realities into profound life lessons for our future
Deeply rooted in our Jewish values and forward focused in preparing for the careers and competencies of the future we journey together with you our Yeshiva University community through these uncharted waters
Next year will be a formative year in the lives of our students and together we will rise to the moment so that our students will emerge stronger and better prepared to be leaders of the world of tomorrow
