Mission

The mission of Ner Israel Rabbinical College is to train our students to become outstanding Talmidei Chachomim (Sages) who through their knowledge, teaching and steadfast commitment to Torah (Jewish Law) and Mitzvos (Jewish obligations), will pass on our Mesorah (Jewish Heritage) to the next generation. We teach the skills of Talmudic Torah scholarship and encourage the centrality of Torah centered Jewish living. It is our belief that all will be more successful at their chosen course, due to this education. Whatever career path our students chose, they will serve in those roles better and be active members of their communities because of their Yeshiva educational experience.
