Descrizione dell'università (origine: sito web ufficiale dell'università)
Yeshiva University traces its origins to Yeshiva Eitz Chaim, founded in 1886 on New York's Lower East Side. In 1896, the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary (RIETS) was founded there; the New York State Board of Regents chartered it in 1897.
Now in its second century, Yeshiva University ranks among the nation’s leading academic research institutions. It embraces the heritage of the best of western civilization, along with the ancient traditions of Jewish law and life.
