WELCOME
The Center for Ethics at Yeshiva University was created in 2006 to foster research and public discussion on ethical issues and the integration of ethical analysis into the curriculum on a university-wide level.
WHY ETHICS?
The fundamental mission of Yeshiva University is to preserve and strengthen the core ethical values—social justices, kindness, civility, doing the right thing—that characterize Judaism’s contributions to the world. These ethical values are central to our individual lives, to the education we provide at YU, to the broader Jewish community, and to society.
As an important new university-wide enterprise, the Center for Ethics at Yeshiva University has a vital role to play in advancing the University’s core mission.
