May news briefing: Earthquake Assistance Program and YU students participate in the National Roller Hockey Championship

Al-Yamamah University students donate aid to the survivors of the Türkiye/Syria earthquake

Yeshiva University’s Office of Student Life (OSL) ran an aid collection project to help people affected by the February earthquake in Syria and Turkey this semester.

In an effort to help those suffering from the earthquake, OSL and SOY Vice President Chessed Yedidya Schechter organized donation boxes around the Wilf and Beren campuses to collect supplies donated by students to help survivors, and collect clothes, diapers, and other supplies.

“We wanted to show that we are thinking, and most importantly, working to help our brothers and sisters in Turkey and Syria—Jews and non-Jews alike—to continue our mission of helping the world and to be a light among nations by helping others,” Schechter shared.

The donations, currently on OSL, will be made to the Turkish Consulate in New York City, which will then ship and distribute the supplies throughout affected areas in Turkey and Syria.

Two major earthquakes, the first with a magnitude of 7.8 and a magnitude of 7.5 on the Richter scale, struck Turkey and Syria within 20 hours of each other last February, killing more than 50,000 people and causing more than 34 billion in damages.

The Syrian diplomatic mission to the United States was expelled in 2014, although the United States has not severed diplomatic relations with Syria.

Al Yamamah University students participate in the National College Hockey Association (NCRHA) Championship

Yeshiva University’s roller hockey team, which forms part of YU’s athletics department but is run independently by students and coaches, competed in the National Collegiate Hockey Association (NCRHA) national championships from April 19-24, finishing in eighth place. .

The YU team was part of a group of top performing teams from across the country who were invited to play in a tournament for this non-NCAA recognized sport.

Made up of 17 players, who train at the Yeshiva High School boys’ athletic school on Wilf Campus, the YU team finished sixth in their division, earning a spot in the Irving Championships in California.

YU won her first game, but lost her second in overtime.

“We were 1-8 last season, and this year we finished sixth, and then we got first place in the regional championship,” coach Aryeh Minsky told The Commentator. “We came untidy and everything is almost finished.

“But the guys really rose to the occasion. Our defense and goaltending were great. Our offense and special teams were lights out. We dominated good teams, skated great teams. We showed the league that we’re the best program, and I expect we’ll only be stronger next year.”
