The Yeshiva College Book Project was founded in response to the 1994 assassination of Israel's Prime Minister Itzhak Rabin to promote tolerance and understanding and to provide an opportunity for dialogue among students, faculty, authors, and thinkers.
Past texts discussed in the YC Book Project include: Salman Rushdie's East, West: Stories, Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried, Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, Robert Kaplan's Balkan Ghosts, Albert Camus's The Plague, and Selections from the Writings of Gandhi. Both Rushdie and O'Brien visited Yeshiva College to deliver talks and meet with students.
