“The YPN community taught me that you can express Judaism any way you want; socially, through business networking, by mentoring students, philanthropically, spiritually, or all of the above. JHP’s not asking you to do anything but identify with your Jewishness and incorporate it into your routine in whatever way makes you feel most comfortable.”
- Josh Katz, YPN member
YPN was created by JHP alumni and their friends as a way to stay involved with Jewish identity and further build the Jewish communities they had begun at university.
