Yeshivas Ohr Hatzafon - ZAJ

Nestled in the hills of Yerushalayim, Yeshiva Ohr Hatzafon is a haven for American post-high school bachurim who are looking for a unique learning experience and personal growth. The yeshiva is housed in a villa that accommodates bachurim between the ages of 18 and 22. Operating as one big family, the yeshiva, dormitories, dining area, and beis midrash are all located in the same villa. Yungerleit

The rosh yeshiva, Rabbi Dovid Blumberg, has created a warm, inviting beis midrash in which there is time and opportunity to ask questions—as many as necessary for each bachur to not only understand what he is learning but why he is learning as well. The excitement of learning for its own sake is reinforced as the true benefits of learning Torah open new spiritual horizons for each student. The yeshiva prides itself on nurturing sophisticated character development and a sensitivity toward others that’s hard to match. The rebbeim bring their students into their hearts and homes, guiding them in all aspects of their lives. The students’ healthy futures as talmidei chachamim, husbands, and simply good people are being shaped through the yeshiva’s intensely personal and thorough approach to learning.
