 New York City’s Rent Guidelines Board voted to freeze rents for approximately 1 million rent-stabilized apartments, delivering a major political victory for Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

With a transformative $12.5 million gift to Yeshiva University, Alex and Diana Tsigutkin are helping advance an important new chapter in the University’s 140-year history: The establishment of a new Electrical and Computer Engineering program. Directed by Dr. Fred L. Fontaine – former chair of Cooper Union’s Electrical Engineering Department – the new initiative will provide students with courses, labs and practical engineering experience for the first time across the college’s Uptown and Midtown campuses, as well as fund $25,000 scholarships for at least 10 undergraduates each year and connect students with the Israeli high-tech sector.
