Yeshivish: Orthodox Jewish American English Video

The hallmark of the mesivta of the Yeshiva Shaarei Torah is that the rebeyim have a tremendous, beautiful kesher with each and every one of the talmidim.

Besides the classic,¹ first seder, English, intense learning,² first seder we offer a lot of extracurricular activities, which adds to making the boys feel connected with the rebeyim.

We try to create an atmosphere of simcha that the boys should³ want to come to yeshiva and they should go home happy from yeshiva.⁴ They should be able to accomplish not only in their academics, we also want them to have that geshmak in learning that'll take them on to Beys Medresh.

Rabbi Chaim Schwartz, Menahel: “Baruch Hashem the hatzlocha that the Yeshiva has had with all of its divisions from the Mesivta through the Beys Medrash and the Kollel we have seen tremendous hatzlocha and we look forward, b’ezras Hashem, that the hatzlocha should continue.⁵

Rabbi Dovid Delouya, 10th Grade Magid Shiur: “It’s my utmost tfilah to Hakodesh Baruch Hu, that he gives the Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Mordechai Wolmark, shlita, the continued koyches, the continued siyata dishmaya, he’s had until now to continue being marbitz Torah⁶ and, uh, building talmidei chachamim for the future.”
