  • Israel at 70
    Israel at 70 Israel as a Double Gift Dr. Ari Berman, President, Yeshiva University Our generation is blessed to witness the 70th birthday of the modern State of Israel. While the State of Israel is of profound importance to Jews everywhere, it holds unique resonance for us as religious Zionists, for it potentially signals the coming of a long-hoped-for redemption. Consequently, as we reflect upon the seven decades since Israel’s birth, it is useful to clarify the way in which a modern nation-state like Israel can herald redemption. Of the many foundational ideas that Biblical Israel has contributed to the history of civilization, perhaps the most ambitious is the concept of a collective redemption—the notion that not only should individuals strive for their ultimate betterment, but that society can and must move history forward together. Reflections on this theme are most concentrated in the Bible’s prophetic literature. Broadly speaking, one finds therein two contrasting models for what redemption entails, the first represented in the book of Ezekiel, the second in the book of Isaiah. Ezekiel, in chapter 37, envisions redemption as a project fundamentally benefitting the Jewish people. Although dispersed throughout the world, and oppressed throughout history, this paradigmatic minority will one day be revived. The climax of Ezekiel’s best known eschatological prophecy—his vision of the valley of the dry bones—is God’s promise to His people: “I will bring you back to the land of Israel” (37:12). For Ezekiel, the goal of the redemptive process is internally oriented. Isaiah, by contrast, consistently articulates a redemptive vision that encompasses all of humanity.

  • JEN Winter 2003- Alvin Schiff Article the Development of Israel Study Programs by Alvin Schiff
    3/6/2009 JEN Winter 2003- Alvin Schiff Article The Development of Israel Study Programs By Alvin Schiff Full-time study in a yeshiva or seminary in Israel for one or two years after graduation from a yeshiva or Jewish day high school is now a commonplace phenomenon in North American, English, French, South African, and Australian modern Orthodox Jewish education. The overall impact of the post-high school yeshiva and seminary study programs is substantial, particularly regarding religious ritual experience, commitment to continued Torah study, and to Zionism, including the desire to make aliyah. The Israeli Zionist yeshivot for men and seminaries for women inculcate a strong feeling of responsibility for K’lal Yisrael , a love for the State of Israel, and initiate a continuing relationship with the Jewish State and the yishuv . In 1957, as pedagogic consultant and supervisor of the Department of Jewish Day Schools and Yeshivot of the Jewish Education Committee of New York (now the Board of Jewish Education of Greater New York), I developed two types of programs for study in Israel. The first type —Tochnit Yod Bet (The Twelfth Year Program)—was for seniors in public high schools who studied in Conservative and Reform supplementary schools and for seniors in yeshiva and Jewish day high schools. The second type of program — Tochnit Yod Gimmel (The Thirteenth Year Program) — was for graduates of public high schools who also studied in Reform and Conservative congregational schools and for graduates of Yeshiva and Jewish Day High Schools. The program for seniors — Tochnit Yod Bet — was based upon the reality that seniors in New York high schools spend the spring term of their senior year largely on non-academic projects since, essentially, they have completed the high school curriculum and have taken all the necessary exams for graduation.

  • 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.
