Heralding the Next Generation Yeshiva
For over 14 years Orchos Chaim's distinctive programs and special attention we pay each student (ba'al-teshuva or not) has given them an opportunity to fully integrate while in yeshiva thereby preparing them for absorption into the community. Our job however does not end there; the roshei yeshiva and rabbeim at Orchos Chaim dedicate significant time and resources to our alumni's needs many years beyond the completion of their studies.
Our one-of-a-kind Binyan Olam Fellowship program is something of which we are particularly proud. Designed for recently married couples who want to build a spiritual foundation that will carry them through life, the Fellowship offers an opportunity to spend a year of learning and growing in Israel. The program combines the traditional intensive yeshiva learning with classes for both husbands and wives in the theory, hashkafa, and practice of building a bayit neeman b'Yisrael - a home that will start out, and continue on a path of positive growth.

And the children of Shimon: Yemueil, and Yamin, and Ohad, and Yachin, and Tzochar, and Shaul the son of the Canaanite, these are the families of Shimon. And these are the names of the children of Levi according to their births: Gershon, and Kehath, and Merrori, and the years of the life of Levi [were] one hundred and thirty-seven years." (Shemos 6:13-16)...Read More
