Nachum welcomed Rabbi Pinny Rosenthal, National Director of Development for OU-JLIC, to this morning’s JM in the AM to preview the upcoming JLIC Soho Rooftop Event.
From the JLIC website: “The university environment is a marketplace of ideas and experiences that can pose both challenges and opportunities to an Orthodox Jew’s observance and commitment. Recognizing that the majority of Modern Orthodox college students are being educated at secular universities, the OU, in partnership with Hillel, administers the Orthodox Union Heshe and Harriet Seif Jewish Learning Initiative on Campus (OU-JLIC). This program helps Orthodox students navigate the college environment, and balance their Jewish commitments with their desire to engage the secular world. Toward this end, OU-JLIC places Orthodox rabbinic couples on over 20 college campuses in the U.S. and Canada to serve as Torah educators and role models.”
