"Despite the fact that I can never aspire to being counted as one of the 36 under 36, I am very proud and excited that Yeshiva University can count on so many of its graduates from so many of its different schools to direct their attention to making a difference in the Jewish world," said President Richard M. Joel. "It’s a tribute to them and to the mandate to matter that is at the core of our mission."
