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. The courses are taught by the CY's outstanding faculty.

Advanced Students / Kollel

The Advanced Program is intended for students with a strong background in traditional texts. The course of study includes Talmud with Rishonim, Tanach, Philosophy, and Halacha. Classes are taught mostly in Hebrew by the CY faculty. Stipends are available.

What's Special About the Advanced Program?

Students in the advanced program will have the opportunity to study in small classes, specifically geared to expanding knowledge of commentaries as well as text skills. Faculty members Rabbi Richard Lewis and Dr. Joshua Kulp will work closely with each advanced student to design a course of study appropriate to individual learning goals. Advanced students will also use their skills to help other students and have the opportunity to offer shiurim in subjects of interest.

Special Events/Shabbatonim

Throughout the year the CY has special days of learning and activities. Sometimes these events are focused around a holiday and other times they are focused on Israeli culture and life. Examples of special events include:

  • Yom Iyun (Dedicated Learning) for Chanukah, Purim, Pesach, Shavuot, Yom HaShoah and Yom HaZikaron
  • Visit to the Israeli Supreme Court
  • Tu B'Shvat Seder
  • Tiyul to Neot Kedumim, a biblical landscape preserve
  • Purim megillah reading and a student led Shpiel
  • Yom Ha'atzmaut BBQ
  • Shabbatonim - 3 or 4 weekends during the year which consist of a community shabbat preceded by a trip to areas of interest around Israel
