The S. Daniel Abraham Israel Program is a formal arrangement between Yeshiva University and 51 men's and women's yeshivot in Israel that enables students to incorporate study in Israel into their college years. While studying in Israel, students are exposed to intense, concentrated study of Jewish subjects with top teachers while learning firsthand about Israel's land, people, history, and culture.

Yeshiva University Israel advisers visit each school regularly to offer academic guidance, career planning, and personal counseling. In addition, the program sponsors lectures and activities where students can gather under the auspices of Yeshiva University, and a guidance center to provide support to help ease the occasionally challenging adjustment to a year's study in Israel. Yeshiva University also cosponsors major events for American students in Israel, such as the Battle of the Bands adn Inter-Seminary Choir Competition, and an annual career fair.

The program is headquartered at the Student Center at Yeshiva University's Israel Campus in the Bayit Vegan neighborhood of Jerusalem. Mark Lehrman serves as director of the program.
