Our yeshiva system is the subject of many spirited conversations within our communities. We love to talk about the challenge of engaging our youth in a world filled with endless distractions, and the need to cater to our bochurim who crave a more creative and personalized yeshiva experience. Ultimately, for most of us, these remain no more than theoretical conversations.
Meet Bais Schneur Yeshiva
Located in the idyllic setting of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and currently in its fourth year, Bais Schneur is a Yeshiva that provides a practical solution to our theoretical conversations. By placing equal emphasis on each student’s physical and emotional development, as they do on their spiritual growth, Bais Schneur utilizes a ‘preventative medicine approach’ and it works!
With a more fun, creative, and personal atmosphere, our students are stimulated to learn, grow, and connect with each other in a spirit of authenticity and comradery. Our teachers are engaged in our students and create a climate of connection, honesty, and trust. This allows our students to form deep and vital connections with their teachers, which helps them grow in their academic and personal lives.
One of the students passionately expressed “I really feel the love and good energy from all the Rabbis. Everyone is there for you and they really care. Here everything involves and revolves around the Bochurim – Yeshiva Positive!”
Bais Schneur provides our youth with a truly positive and wholesome yeshiva experience, paving their path for a grounded and meaningful life.
When registration first opened for Bais Schneur, only a couple months before its first year, they received more than fifty applications! This speaks volumes! The need for a yeshiva like Bais Schneur is huge and our communities need it. Bais Schneur is a Yeshiva that is filling an incredible void in the education of our youth!
Since its inception, Bais Schneur has grown into a yeshiva with 40 students, 6 full time staff, and 150+ happy alumni.
In order to accommodate the rapid growth, and establish the Yeshiva for generations to come, Bais Schneur needs to purchase a large yeshiva building. They are currently in contract to purchase the historic Ohav Zedek Shul in Wilkes Barre, PA, and plan to close on the building in the coming months. The shul is a large and magnificent building, with the capacity to accommodate many more students for the coming year. In addition to its beautiful interior, it will provide the students with all of the resources that they need to thrive and succeed for the rest of their life.
The new amenities will include a grand study hall, a beautiful dining room, spacious classrooms, a shul for davening, a private therapy room, a community simcha hall, offices, and room for further expansion.
Bais Schneur is currently running a live campaign to raise $300,000 for the purchase of this new building.
