Yavneh & Aryeh Scholars

College Leadership Shabbaton

Yavneh and Aryeh Scholars – a joint RZA-Mizrachi-OU college leadership program – kicked off its year of programming with a Shabbaton held in New York. Over 60 student leaders attended the weekend of training and discussion of projects in which they will be involved during the year. Aryeh Scholars are a unique group of Yavneh students who will receive 10 seminar sessions focused on Religious Zionism and will be in charge of planning the 3-days of programming for Yavneh leaders that will take place in Israel during winter break. Most Yavneh students spend winter break in Israel learning in their gap-year Yeshivot or Midrashot. The weekend wrapped up on Sunday with “Shtark Tank,” a takeoff on the TV program “Shark Tank” in which entrepreneurs present projects for funding by the panelists.

Rabbi Israel, RZA-Mizrachi Executive VP, sat on the Shtark Tank panel to which were presented student projects ranging from an Israel fashion program at Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) to Shabbat programming on campuses with smaller Jewish populations.
