The Beit Midrash Program A full-time program on 3 Levels

Shiur Aleph (beginner) is suited to students who have a positive identification with Judaism, who are basically committed to Shabbat and Kashrut observance, and who are ready to gain basic skills in Torah study, especially Chumash with Rashi's commentary.

Shiur Bet (intermediate) is appropriate for students who are more advanced in Torah learning and wish to develop their learning skills and broaden their philosophical knowledge, particularly through the study of Chumash with Ramban's commentary.

Shiur Gimel (advanced) offers advanced students the opportunity to deepen their skills while being exposed to challenging, new levels of learning. Students may move between levels as their Hebrew and text skills improve, or combine classes in different levels to form personalized schedules.

Taste of Torah Program

The curriculum includes inspiring classes in Philosophy, Jewish Calendar, and Life Cycle for those new to traditional Jewish learning.
