The phenomenon of at-risk youth and those who have dropped out of yeshivas has grown enormously. So many young people today feel beaten by the system. Most often they leave yeshiva either by choice or are asked to leave and the street is waiting for them. Here is a quote from a present talmid.
“Coming to Neveh Zion has been a life changer for me. Before coming to Neveh, I was your ordinary teenager who had been beaten by the system – the system that requires you to practice Judaism whether you like it or not. I eventually drifted from Judaism and dropped out of yeshiva. I didn’t really keep to any of my Jewish customs, and the things I did do were out of rote; nothing with true meaning or love towards God.”
Most drop all remnants of observance although the writer of the letter above did a few out of rote. Another young man wrote this year.
“Throughout my life I was always a misfit, I was never able to fit into the regular yeshiva system. After jumping from yeshiva to yeshiva and feeling like I didn’t belong I finally wrote it off as something that wasn’t for me, and went to work.”

When he was approached by a Rebbe from our yeshiva he writes, “I was very conflicted. I still had the bitter taste of my yeshiva past lingering in my mouth and I was very reluctant to go back to a system I swore I would never return to. After much thought I realized that despite all the good I had in Lakewood, deep down I felt something was missing. So leaving a great job and prospect behind I jumped back into a world I never thought I would be a part of again.”
For nearly 40 years Neveh Zion has been at the forefront of Jewish education, allowing each student to grow at his own pace, discover himself and his own talents. Contemporary Jewish youth need Neveh with its warm, skillful, dedicated and talented Rebbeim. They need a ‘progress at your own pace’ and a ‘discover yourself’ program. Only the love and patience of our Rebbeim can nurture these alienated souls back to their roots.
