Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies

SCHOLARSHIP, TORAH, WISDOM, THOUGHT

As of Fall 2023, all programs at Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies will be available remotely as well as in-person.
All classes can be taken live-online via Yeshiva University's remote conference platform.

It’s difficult to say anything that hasn’t already been said in multiple messages that you will have seen from various Jewish agencies; and I’m simply unable to come up with some eloquent formula for expressing our distress and outrage at the sickening attacks on Israel. In certain contexts, as Maimonides famously noted, words will always be deficient. But as I taught my weekly class this week, missing one of our Revel students who was absent, having returned to Israel to serve in his army unit, I felt compelled to say something, however inadequate it might be.

That we all hope and pray that this will end as swiftly as it can given the circumstances, and with minimal loss of life, while true, just sounds platitudinous. To say “We Stand with Israel,” while true, ought to be such an obvious sentiment for any right-thinking person that it is hardly worth saying. That it nonetheless needs to be said is sadly why we are where we are right now.

With all sensitivity to the needs of our students and faculty at this time, Revel will proudly continue to teach and study the very traditions and values that are currently under attack.

May all of Israel be brought

מִצָּרָה לִרְוָחָה, וּמֵאֲפֵלָה לְאוֹרָה, וּמִשִּׁעְבּוּד לִגְאֻלָּה, הַשְׁתָּא בַּעֲגָלָא וּבִזְמַן קָרִיב.
