Student and Faculty Quotes

I am commanded to love God with all my heart, soul, and might.  I can't think of any way to express my love of God more than to try to be an agent of honesty, integrity, growth, and struggle in the Modern Orthodox community.  YCT allows me to engage in that challenge through intense learning and rabbinic training.
