Studying at the yeshiva has made me realize that it’s possible to live an observant Jewish life without sacrificing egalitarianism and liberal values. I would recommend the CY to others who are looking for a modern institution where they can challenge their ideas about Judaism with students from around the world.

The CY summer program has strengthened my Jewish identity and broadened my knowledge and understanding of Judaism and Halacha. I feel profoundly moved by the people I’ve met and the journeys that they’re on.
