On the recordSeptember 15, 2025
today I share my gratitude with Rabbi Dr. Ari Berman, president of Yeshiva University, for his prayer for the Senate and for our country. Faith and education together have been powerful forces for good in America. That truth is reflected in the mission of Yeshiva University, which joins knowledge with character by preparing young men and women to lead with integrity, serve with compassion, and strengthen their communities. At a time of rising anti-Semitism on college campuses after the October 7 attack on Israel, Rabbi Berman founded a coalition of more than 100 university presidents--leaders united against terrorism and hate. For more than a century, Yeshiva has shown that true education does more than expand the mind. It shapes character, builds responsibility, and equips the next generation to meet the challenges of their time. I also want to give special recognition to my friend Anita Zucker for her dedication as a trustee of Yeshiva University, for her service to South Carolina, and for her commitment to education that strengthens our country. May Rabbi Berman's words in the Senate Chamber, and Yeshiva's mission every day, continue to inspire faith, courage, and hope for the future of America.
