SHABBAT ON CAMPUS
At the Beren Campus we're all about creating community. Community has an
impact upon student life in a myriad of ways, Shabbat being just one of
them.
Shabbatonim at Beren are a true showcase of our Yeshiva University
community at its best. Shabbat on campus offers an opportunity to enjoy a
unique bonding experience. Hundreds of students share in the experience
each week--both women and men. Each Shabbat a different group of
students creates special programming combining a dynamic guest speaker
and interactive activities. Our Shabbat spirit is amazing. From Tefillah
to Kiddush, Oneg and the Seudot with Zemirot, a special feeling
permeates the air. What makes Shabbat at Beren so outstanding is that
there is a place for everyone and something for everyone to enjoy.
There is a nominal fee for Shabbat meals. Orientation Shabbat cost
is
only $15 if you make reservations for meals with the Dining Hall cashier
by Wednesday, January 25th. Housing facilities for Orientation Shabbat
are available for new commuter students. See the Director of University
Housing and Residence Life (Brookdale Residence Hall, 1G; berenhousing@yu.edu;
212-340-7795) to make the necessary arrangements. We strongly encourage
you to join us for the first Shabbat of the semester, when you will
have the opportunity to hear stimulating guest speakers, attend
interesting sessions, and meet informally with your fellow students and
faculty.
PERSONAL
AND SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE
At the Beren Campus, we strive to build community. The ''Campus Couple''
Rahel and Tuvia Lwowski are available to hang with and talk to all week
long. They are also responsible for Shabbat on campus and each week
help to create a warm, ruach-filled atmosphere. A Mashgiach
Ruchani, Rabbi Shlomo Hochberg, is on campus for spiritual guidance or
to answer any questions and discuss
any topics regarding spirituality and religion. Feel free to stop by his
office or make an appointment to meet with him. We are proud to
continue the Madrichot Ruchaniot Program. We have four fabulous women as
Madrichot Ruchaniot on campus. Each woman is here once a week and is
available to talk about whatever you want. Whether you want to talk
about your classes, personal life, spiritual issues, religious concerns,
or future plans, these women are here for you! They are located in Room
104, every Monday - Thursday, 7 - 10 pm. Stop by for a minute or an
hour; they'd love to meet you!
Student
Guides know the ropes. They'll be available to answer your questions
throughout Orientation and the semester ahead. Student Guides assist new
students in adjusting to a new and exciting university experience and
welcome them into our Yeshiva University community.
The
student councils work hard to enhance your experience at YU through
creative events, dynamic speakers, and special programs and projects.
Every student who enters Stern College is a member of the Stern College for Women Student Council (SCWSC) and Stern College for Women Torah Activities Council (SCWTAC). Students entering the Sy Syms School of
Business become members of the Sy Syms School of Business Student Council (Sy SymsSC) as well as SCWSC and SCWTAC. The three student councils
sponsor numerous and varied campus activities and events.
THE
METROPOLITAN EXPERIENCE
The Metropolitan Experience at the Beren Campus presents a year of
exciting, free events for undergraduate women on campus. These Big Apple
events offer you the opportunity to ''step out on the town'' in the
company of faculty and friends--a way to experience the richness of New
York City's cultural life while building community. Take advantage of
this life-enhancing program each semester--and ENJOY!
