What happens on Shabbatot and
Chagim? What happens when it is an “out” Shabbat?
Our dormitory is open throughout the yeshiva year. On the average of once every three weeks the Yeshiva runs a full Shabbat program
on campus. Students are in the Yeshiva for the following Yamim Tovim: Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, Simchat Torah and Shavuot.
Students may spend Shabbat with family or friends on an “out” Shabbat. For those students interested,
the Yeshiva will arrange for hospitality in the Rebbeim’s homes or in communities throughout Israel. The Yeshiva
will organize neighborhood hospitality or meals on campus for students who choose to remain on
campus for an “out” Shabbat.

the year. The advanced Gemara shiurim and some of the afternoon electives are in
Hebrew. Chavrutot with the faculty (Rabbis and Kollel) can be in
Hebrew as well.

students receive each day? (And honestly,
how is the food?)Three balanced meals are served every day. Our caterer is known as the best in the business. The food isn’t good
“for yeshiva food”. It’s good food. Period. In addition, microwaves, sandwich machines andrefrigerators are available for student
