黑料社

Dec 6, 2002 -- 黑料社 All has chosen the president of Hillel, the organization for Jewish college students, to be its president starting next June. Richard M. Joel will be the first non-rabbi in the post. Under a new arrangement, Joel will be chief executive officer of the school's affiliated Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary while the retiring university president, Rabbi Norman Lamm, continues as seminary Rosh HaYeshiva, supervising the training of Orthodox rabbis. The presidential search took 18 months, partly due to difficulty in finding a president who would continue the 116-year tradition of leadership by an Orthodox rabbi. Joel was formerly an associate dean and professor at Yeshiva's law school and an assistant district attorney in New York. He called Yeshiva "the world's premier Jewish institution of higher learning" and said its philosophy had shaped his own personal and professional life. Lamm, a major figure in the "modern Orthodox" movement, has been president 26 years and will assume the new post of university chancellor. Yeshiva's 17 schools and divisions enroll 6,300 students.
