In response to the increasing demand of bochurim from around the world who wish to learn in Israel, the hanhala of Yeshivas Toras Emes will open a class for English speaking students this coming fall.
“Many bochurim wish to learn in Israel, and enjoy the atmosphere of the holy land, but have been held back from doing so due to the language barrier,” a member of the school’s faculty told COLlive.
Therefore, the hanalah has decided to open a class this coming year for American bochurim, with shiurim to be given in Yiddish. This decision was made in honor of the 100th year anniversary of the founding of the Yeshiva.
For next year, a Shiur Alef – Zal class will be opened, where personal and individual attention will be given to every bochur.
The shiurim in Nigleh will be given by Rabbi Yitzchok Meir Segal, and the shiurim in Chassidus will be given by Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Gluckowsky.
The Rosh Yeshiva will be in Crown Heights – 2-4 Tammuz, and after that in France – 6-7 Tammuz – and will be testing bochurim who are interested in attending the yeshiva.
The bochurim that will be accepted are those who fit to the spirit of the Yeshiva, both in Limud Torah and Chassidishe Hanhaga, the faculty said.
Anyone interested in applying can contact the Rosh Yeshiva at 052-762-5776. For more details in English you can contact Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Gluckowsky at 054-845-6301.
If you have any questions please call 011-972-54-845-6301.
That’s the point. They don’t want only-english speaking americans.
Why not English? How will this bring English speaking Americans to learn there?
The Yeshiva will be having a dinner to honor its 100th yr anniversary. All alumni and students of Toras Emes can contribute -please- to the great event and yeshiva. This will enable the Yeshiva to continue to thrive.
very nice i learned there…
reb itche meir is great
I learned there without really speaking hebrew. It’s pretty easy even if you don’t really know the language so well, because most of the words are the loshon of gemarah and meforshim. That being said, Itche Meir is a great Ra”M.
When I learned there 31 years ago the shiurim were all in yidish, in line with the old Yureshalmi Takona that all mosdos
learn in Yidish.Due to this, many Sefardishe Bochurim learnt to speak yidish.
