I was wondering if anyone could recommend BT Yeshivas in Israel that would help me with serious study that would be geared towards eventual Smicha?
If there is any additional information that would help you assist me with recommendations, dont hesitate to ask.
September 8, 2011 8:04 pm at 8:04 pm #1087560Ein Od MilvadoMemberThank you for all your help in advance.
September 8, 2011 8:15 pm at 8:15 pm #1087561mikehall12382MemberFor BT’s I would start at Aish Ha Torah…
They are perfect for BT’s and have advance learning for Smicha too…look them up
September 8, 2011 8:21 pm at 8:21 pm #1087562YW Moderator-80Memberdo you feel more closely aligned with modern orthodox or with Charaidim?
September 8, 2011 8:38 pm at 8:38 pm #1087563bein_hasdorimParticipantDefinitely Aish Hatorah. or Ohr Someach.
September 8, 2011 8:40 pm at 8:40 pm #1087564littleappleMemberHow long are you thinking of remaining in yeshiva?
Why do you want smicha? What do you see yourself doing with it?
September 8, 2011 8:41 pm at 8:41 pm #1087565Ein Od MilvadoMemberTo be completely honest, I attended a prominent M.O day school from the ages of 4 – 13. In spite of that i feel more aligned to Charaidim.
September 8, 2011 8:41 pm at 8:41 pm #1087566YW Moderator-80Memberits spelled ohr somayach
aish ha Torah
i agree one of these two is your best choice
which one depends on the question i asked above
September 8, 2011 8:43 pm at 8:43 pm #1087567YW Moderator-80Memberin that case i feel VERY strongly that Ohr Somayach would be a better match.
although Aish is a fine place
September 8, 2011 8:51 pm at 8:51 pm #1087568ObaminatorMember80: Aish is more to the MO hashkafa than Ohr?
September 8, 2011 8:52 pm at 8:52 pm #1087569Ein Od MilvadoMemberI am making an committment to attend atleast for one full year and then address the situation from there. I wanted to recieve Smicha so I could help my community and help adolescents and yound adult Yidden foster a relationship with H’
September 8, 2011 8:52 pm at 8:52 pm #1087570NechomahParticipantAish is more geared for guys wanting to go into kiruv. Ohr Somayach used to be geared more towards mainlining into regular yeshivos like Mir, etc. I’m not sure if they have their own smicha program, but I’m sure they can help figure out what would be appropriate when the time comes. Hatzlacha.
September 8, 2011 8:57 pm at 8:57 pm #1087571Ein Od MilvadoMemberI already applied to a Yeshiva in Yerushalayim but im not sure if its right for me.
September 8, 2011 9:05 pm at 9:05 pm #1087572YW Moderator-80Memberthey are both very much geared to kiruv
September 8, 2011 9:10 pm at 9:10 pm #1087573Emunas ItechaMemberI think Ohr Somayach would be the best if your more inclined to the Chareidi mentality. But either of them would be good. Dont forget to ask Hashem to help you make the right decision! :-).
Hatzlacha!
September 8, 2011 9:14 pm at 9:14 pm #1087574ObaminatorMember80: What did you mean earlier when writing that which one of those two is best depends if the OP leans towards the Chareidi or MO hashkafa?
September 8, 2011 9:15 pm at 9:15 pm #1087575oomisParticipantOhr Somayach, definitely.
September 8, 2011 9:55 pm at 9:55 pm #1087576ItcheSrulikMemberHamivtar is a baal teshuva yeshiva with a semicha program geared to accomodate people from their BT tracks as well as from elsewhere. It may be too modern for you but it couldn’t hurt to check it out.
September 8, 2011 10:56 pm at 10:56 pm #1087577Sam2ParticipantAre you looking for a Yeshivah geared towards Ba’alie T’shuvah or a Yeshivah to help you become a Ba’al T’shuvah. There is a tremendous difference.
September 9, 2011 12:15 am at 12:15 am #1087578Ein Od MilvadoMemberI applied to a major Chabad Yeshiva and got excepted. I just hope its the right choice. Ive been asking Hashem to help guide me so I make the right decision and this is where I have wound up.
September 9, 2011 12:39 am at 12:39 am #1087579Emunas ItechaMemberThats great! Hashem should shower you with endless bracha and hatzlacha through out your journey!
September 9, 2011 12:58 pm at 12:58 pm #1087580Ein Od MilvadoMemberThank you very much. I just hope its the right fit for me.
September 9, 2011 1:34 pm at 1:34 pm #1087581Emunas ItechaMemberWell, do you have an interest in chabad chassidus at all?
September 9, 2011 5:26 pm at 5:26 pm #1087582Ein Od MilvadoMemberDefinitely, Likkutei Amarim is one of the most incredible things I have ever had the privilege of reading. I just want to make sure that this is the right choice because this is going to be the foundation.
September 9, 2011 6:37 pm at 6:37 pm #1087583Emunas ItechaMemberThats amazing! If you are really inspired by chabad chassidus, then I would totally suggest you to go to a yeshiva that concentrates on that. Aish HaTorah and Ohr Somayach aren’t like that. Many people spend years trying to find some connection that sparks the flame they so badly want to keep burning. It sounds like you may have found that. Could you see yourself as a chabad Rabbi? If so, dont pass up the door Hashem opened for you :-).
June 18, 2015 11:00 pm at 11:00 pm #1087584thanboParticipantif you like mystical stuff or are hippieish, or musical, you might try out my wife’s cousin’s yeshiva, the Diaspora Yeshiva on Mt Zion. It was the first of the BT yeshivas in Israel, starting before the Six Day War. Their women’s wing is in the Old City, the men’s department is just outside the Zion Gate.
June 19, 2015 12:31 pm at 12:31 pm #1087585takahmamashParticipantthanbo, do you realize you’re responding to a thread that’s three years old? The OP could have already gotten smicha by now.
