Study at the Conservative Yeshiva focuses on traditional texts such as Talmud, Tanach, and Midrash, and on Jewish philosophy and prayer. Learning is conducted in the traditional yeshiva method (chevruta and shiur) with an openness to modern scholarship and students' interests. Find the program that best fits your needs.

CY Learning Program

A Typical Day at the Conservative Yeshiva is filled with chevruta time (one-on-one learning), shiur (class), tefillot (prayer), and community.

In the Year Program, four mornings per week are devoted to Talmud study. Our four levels of Talmud shiurim help students, from beginner to advanced, learn and improve their Talmud skills. The fifth morning of the week is devoted to Tanach (Bible).

Afternoon classes include Tanach (Bible), Halacha (Jewish law), Mishnah (early Rabbinic text), Midrash (Biblical exegesis), Philosophy and more. The CY day formally ends with ma'ariv, but many students choose to participate in evening learning, either in organized group sessions or in chevrutot in topics of their own interest.

Chevruta and Shiur

Chevruta study is an age-old method of Jewish text study in which two students learn a text together. It gives students an opportunity to explore and struggle with the text as they learn from each other and often creates a unique bond between them.

During shiur, teachers lead students through a discussion of the prepared text. Students raise questions and difficulties; teachers explain these difficult areas and offer background, skills and methodology.

The Beit Midrash

The Beit Midrash is the focal point of the CY. In it, surrounded by reference books and each other, students and faculty learn. The buzz of the Beit Midrash is a unique, stimulating sound.

Flexibility and Tutoring

Since students at the Conservative Yeshiva come from a diversity of backgrounds, they are encouraged to custom-make programs of study to suit their individual needs. Extra help is always available in order to allow each student to get the most out of his or her learning experience.
