Mission

Beth Hamedrash Shaarei Yosher Institute is committed to a distinct educational philosophy, the elements of which are rooted in the traditions and values of its spiritual forebears, the Talmudic disciples of pre-war Lithuania and Poland. The centrality of Torah study as the sine qua non of the Jewish experience is the underlying tenet on which the Shaarei Yosher education program is predicated. Mastery of the Talmud in a yeshiva setting has been widely accepted as the preferred method for the development of an accomplished Talmid Chacham, a Jewish scholar of stature.
