  • Course Catalog
    Course Catalog 2013-2014 תשע”ד Introduction to the Course Catalog eshivat Yesodei HaTorah prides itself on providing Y the finest Torah education available for post high students in Israel. Our goal is to expose each student to essential Torah topics as well as to issues and ideas that are important to him as an individual. Our core curriculum ensures that each talmid will develop the ability to approach any Torah topic with confidence wherever he may be, whether preparing for shiur in Yeshiva University, learning with his chavruta in a secular college, or delivering a shiur at his local shul as a baal habayit. Additionally, our elective courses allow our students to explore a large array of topics that they find to be personally meaningful. In fact, many of these courses were developed specifically at the request of our students. We are most famous for our morning shiurim, during which our students achieve the ability to learn Gemara independently and in depth, while developing a genuine love for learning. Our afternoon and evening shiurim are equally important parts of our broad and holistic curriculum. Our core shiurim, electives, options for independent study, and opportunities to learn one-on-one with rabbeim give our students an unparalleled learning experience.

The Schaers and Fraenkels are active members of the Beit Hillel family, and together with the Yifrachs, allowed all of Am Yisrael to feel as if their boys were ours, as well. Throughout the 18-day ordeal and beyond, the families acted with a level of grace and dignity that elevated the spirits of a demoralized nation when it needed it most. The multitudes of people who visited during the shiv'ah commented that although they went to provide strength to the families, they left feeling that they had been strengthened by the families. These remarkable occurrences are a tribute to the quality of character possessed by each of the parents, and a Kiddush Shem Shamayim that will, B'ezrat Hashem, be a zechut for the neshamot tehorot of our three precious boys. .ת.נ.צ.ב.ה BEIT HILLEL ON THE TUMULTUOUS EVENTS OF THE EARLY SUMMER This summer, Israeli society has experienced several tumultuous chinam’.
