In Gemora, the Yeshiva follows a cycle of four Mesechtos – Brochos, Shabbos, Pesochim and Succah. In the Iyun Shiur, bochurim develop independent learning skills and the ability to parse and analyze Gemora and then Rishonim. During Bekiyus Seder, a complete mesechta is learned each year culminating with a celebratory siyum. The emphasis is on a precise reading and building familiarity with the loshon and structure of the Gemora to foster the talmid’s attachment to learning.
Talmidim also study Chumash and Rashi. Additionally, large blocks of the first two chalokim of the Mishna Berura, as well as the Halachos of the Yomim Tovim are covered in the text. When a bochur graduates, he feels at home in the Mishna Berura.
Shiurim on Tefilla are an integral part of the program. Also, during Night Seder, the bochurim learn either Novi or Halacha, depending on the year. A wide spectrum of practical Halachos, including Shabbos, Kashrus, Tzedaka and the like, as well as Sefer Shmuel, are covered.
To promote a well-rounded, frum background and connection with Yiddishkeit, bochurim learn Jewish History beginning with the Bayis Sheni era. Discussion of the Torah Hashkofo on current events and issues of importance to the frum community develop a depth of thought and inculcate Torah values to help graduates navigate the world ahead. Ninth graders also learn about the structure of the Luach based on the first two Perakim of Maseches Rosh HaShana, Ramban al HaTorah and high school level astronomy.
