The Lander College for Men is a private men's division of Touro College located in Kew Gardens Hills, Queens, New York City. Its stated goal is to provide a rigorous college curriculum while maintaining a traditional Yeshiva environment with the affiliated Beis Medrash L'Talmud. Generally, its attendees are students who have attended post-high school programs studying Talmud prior to their attendance, primarily in Israel. ==Background and history== The Lander College for Men opened in the fall of 2000, and before long moved onto its campus in Kew Gardens Hills.〔(Lander College for Men: About the School )〕 It graduated its first class in 2003. Geoffrey Alderman, who was a Vice President of Touro College, was Dean of the Lander College for Men from its inception, and served until the end of February 2002. He left to work at American InterContinental University in the UK.〔(Dr. Alderman's Home Page )〕 The current dean of the Lander College for Men, Dr. Moshe Sokol, succeeded him at that time. In May 2012 Rabbi Abba Bronspigel retired from the position of Rosh HaYeshiva of Beis Medrash L'Talmud. He was succeeded by Rabbi Yonason Sacks and Rabbi Doniel Lander in the Fall of 2012. In the biography of Rabbi Dr. Bernard Lander, it is stated that the Lander College for Men was created partially in response to dissatisfaction with the liberalization of Yeshiva University during the tenure of Rabbi Dr. Norman Lamm. In response to this, some of Yeshiva University's rabbinical faculty, specifically Rabbis Abba Bronspigel and Yehuda Parnes, decided to leave the school. With the assistance of Rabbi Dr. Bernard Lander, they created a school with the goal of providing a more religious and more challenging Yeshiva environment than that of Yeshiva University. Bernard Lander called the Lander College for Men the "flagship" of Touro College. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lander College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
