From the 2008 Fall issue of Inside Yad Sarah:

Two students from New Jersey, Danielle Winter of Highland Park and Shlomo Weprin of West Orange, spent July in Israel with the JLIC Global Service-Learning Fellowship.

The program chose 26 specially-selected students to spend four weeks in Israel, participating in a formal curriculum concerning the Jewish concepts of social responsibility, social justice, chesed and tikun olam, and applying them to individual projects.

For their service project, Danielle and Shlomo were matched with Yad Sarah.

Campus Learning Away From Home
by Tova Stulman

Rabbi Menachem Schrader was teaching at Yeshivat Hamivtar, a yeshiva for post-college students and those who take time off from college to learn, when he noticed a common theme among his students: those who learned on secular campuses were frustrated with what they perceived as a lack of outreach for Orthodox Jewish students.

Colleges often have organizations that offer innumerable resources and programs for Jewish students, but rarely are there programs geared specifically for modern Orthodox young men or women from modern yeshiva day schools. They enter secular college campuses that have fewer resources for Jewish education than their yeshiva high schools.
