Philanthropist/Patriots owner to keynote YU graduation

Robert Kraft

Yeshiva University will confer an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree on Robert K. Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, at its 85th commencement on May 25. Mr. Kraft, also the founder, chairman, and CEO of the Kraft Group, will deliver the commencement address to the undergraduate and graduate students receiving their degrees.

YU’s president, Richard M. Joel, noted that Mr. Kraft is well regarded for his dedication to Israel. The Patriots observed a moment of silence after the murder of Ezra Schwartz, a Sharon, Mass., native studying in Israel, at a Monday Night Football game in November.
