Yeshiva University RIETS students can spend one of their four years of study at the Caroline and Joseph S. Gruss Institute Kollel in Jerusalem, which offers yearlong programs for chaver, semikhah, and post-semikhah students. Yeshiva University’s Israel Campus in Bayit Vegan, Jerusalem includes the Gruss Institute of RIETS, programs for Yeshiva University undergraduates, student dormitories, sports facilities, and Yeshiva University Alumni in Israel offices.

 

The learning environment in the Beit Midrash offers a microcosm of the devotion to rabbinic tradition and intellectual diversity emblematic of Yeshiva University. Beyond the Israel Campus, new technologies are opening virtual windows to talmidim throughout the world, enabling them to join in study through webcasts of daily classes that are taught in Jerusalem. The presence of Yeshiva University in Jerusalem infuses Israeli society with the values of Torah Umadda, the University’s guiding philosophy.
