LOS ANGELES – JETS, a trailblazing Los Angeles Yeshiva renowned for seamlessly integrating Torah learning with practical vocational skills, has unveiled plans to launch an accredited business Bachelor’s degree program in the upcoming year. This pivotal initiative underscores JETS’ dedication to delivering exceptional education and broadening avenues of academic exploration for its students.
Over the past year, JETS has experienced remarkable growth, with students demonstrating a profound commitment to their Torah studies. Beyond its rigorous academic offerings, the JETS Business School equips students with critical skills such as negotiation, portfolio development, and personal branding, all under the guidance of a specialized outcomes team. Upon graduation, students benefit from JETS’ extensive workplace opportunities network, ensuring they are well-placed to embark on promising career paths.
JETS founder & director, Rabbi Mayer Schmukler, expressed his enthusiasm: “This expansion is a landmark moment in our academic trajectory. Introducing a business Bachelor’s degree within our Yeshiva’s nurturing environment is not just exhilarating but is a testament to our unwavering commitment to student growth and success.”

JETS stands out for the authenticity of its students, who, every day, take purposeful steps towards spiritual growth. Whether it’s through meditation, discussions, late-night gatherings, or spirited farbrengens, the genuine spirit of our students is unmistakable. Our new business Bachelor’s degree program is another testament to our commitment to empowering our students to excel in both their personal and professional lives.”

These graduates will feel accomplished and will only enhance their well-being and mental health. So much more practical than offering trades like woodworking and the like. Hatzlacha rabba to all the talmidim and hanhola.
