The Lancaster Yeshiva Center

Torah & Trade

The Lancaster Yeshiva Center provides post high school age boys the ability to grow and develop into productive, confident and actively involved members of the Jewish community.

 

The Lancaster Yeshiva Center is a unique program that provides post-high school age boys, many of whom have not found success in previous educational endeavors, with the opportunity to combine Judaic studies with vocational training to achieve fulfillment in Jewish life and success in the workplace and community.

 

The caring rabbinical staff use their vast knowledge of Judaism to guide the students with classes in Jewish Law, Talmud and Ethics.  Active involvement in both synagogue and community life helps the students learn how to become contributing members of society.  They are imbued with values and true life experiences that heighten their sense of community and promote an enduring commitment to their Jewish heritage.

 

The professional vocational training instructors, with their wealth of knowledge and experience, teach the students all skills necessary for success in the construction field.  The two-year program endows students with useful skills in areas including carpentry, masonry, flooring, plumbing and electrical contacting.  Each year, the students work as a team to refurbish a distressed property in the Lancaster area.  This project solidifies their newly acquired skills while benefiting the local community.

 

We are firmly convinced that the Lancaster Yeshiva Center has begun to make and will continue to make a significant and meaningful impact on the lives of the young men we service, on their future and on the future of the Lancaster Jewish Community.

 

The Lancaster Yeshiva Center has received the endorsement of HaRav Mattisyahu Salomon, Shlita and HaRav Shmuel Kamenetsky, Shlita.
