About:
“Yesodei HaTorah” means “Foundations of the Torah.” Our carefully designed, systematic skills development curriculum builds the foundation of a life of independent Torah study. Without skills, independent learning is impossible.
We impart the Foundations of Torah – the skills and knowledge on which a Torah life is built.
Yeshivat Yesodei HaTorah is the yeshiva in which you become an independently skillful ben Torah. In addition to Gemara, you become closely acquainted with the other foundational texts of Torah Judaism. Our outstanding faculty will teach you the classics of Jewish Philosophy, Chumash with Rashi and Ramban, Nach, Mishnayot, and the central works of Halacha, enabling you to become a knowledgeable, skillful, and well-rounded Jewish adult.
Yeshivat Yesodei HaTorah is also well-known for its strong emphasis on your individuality. Every student at Yesodei HaTorah is treated as an individual who has his own unique Torah path, whose independent personality will be celebrated. The yeshiva’s goal is to help you become the finest, most educated Torah Jew you can be, while remaining true to your own individuality and personality.
Yeshivat Yesodei HaTorah boasts an exceptionally talented faculty, which prides itself on giving personal attention to every student, and on establishing lasting relationships with each individual in the yeshiva. Our small shiurim and extraordinary faculty-to-student ratio ensure that you become an integral part of the Yesodei HaTorah community.
