Joint Program
The Yeshiva employs a total of 23 Rabbis from a wide spectrum of places. Some well known rabbis who teach classes include Rabbi Yehoshua Fass (director and founder of Nefesh B'Nefesh), Rabbi Natan Slifkin, the world-renowned "Zoo Rabbi," and the legendary Rabbi Mordechai Machlis, known for his hospitality and generosity.
The first-year student body is divided into five different shiurim (class-levels), based on level of proficiency. Each shiur has its own "Ram" (rebbi). Morning seder is a mix of time devoted to both studying b'chevruta and shiurim (lectures), running from 10:00am to 12:30pm, after which most students have a small shiur on the topic of tefilla, delivered by one of the rabbis. In the top-level shiur, seder runs up until 1:00pm.
