Student and Faculty Quotes

In the two years that have passed since Yeshivat Chovevei Torah’s first Semikha ceremony, I have learned more about the responsibilities of the rabbinate than 20 years in yeshiva could have taught me. But while at Chovevei, I feel I learned more about how to be a rabbi than 20 years on the job could teach me.

Yeshivat Chovevei Torah Rabbinical School is dedicated to creating Torah scholars (talmidei chachamim), spiritual leaders, and morei horaah for their future communities. The Yeshiva offers its students a core curriculum of Talmud, Halakha, Tanakh, and Machshevet Yisrael, preparing them for their role while nurturing them both intellectually and spiritually. We believe that effective Jewish leaders must transmit a passion for Judaism that goes beyond the analysis of text. Thus, we strive to encounter texts not just as an intellectual exercise, but as an act of avodat Hashem.

A unique combination of a small, and highly diverse student body, an intellectually honest and caring staff creates a welcoming and intellectually stimulating atmosphere at YCT. Our culture encourages personal spiritual growth, intellectual openness, self-awareness and reflection. Read more about more about our academics and culture.

Academics

The span of our academic curriculum, in depth, breadth and methodology goes far beyond that of classic Orthodox rabbinical schools. Talmud and Halakha form the core of the curriculum and are strongly supplemented with classes in Tanakh and Jewish Thought. Classical approaches to subject matters are complemented with academic and innovative methodologies. Our overall goal is to create knowledgeable, broadminded and critical-thinking Torah scholars, halakhic decisors and spiritual leaders.
