Taking Responsibility
“In my opinion, 90% of our current students would have left their
homes and yeshivas and been living on the street if not for this yeshiva.”
Aryeh
Rosenberg Staff Social Worker
IN THEIR WORDS
“For years I dreamed of having a profession, and I always enjoyed physical activity. This yeshiva is the best thing that could have happened to me. Here I found myself progressing in everything -in my learning, in my way of thinking, in my character traits, and in my perception of life-because I could finally think with peace of mind, without pressure.”
Yosef A., Alumnus Tifrach
