Over the past few weeks, Yeshiva University has successfully welcomed back undergraduate students from around the country and across the globe to its Manhattan campuses.

What can we do – what must we do – to protect our parents, our families, ourselves?

Fundamental to the mission of SINAI Schools is that every Jewish child deserves access to a top-notch yeshivah where they are celebrated, appreciated, and nurtured to the very best of their abilities.
