WELCOME
Yeshivat Moreshet Yerushalayim is a Sephardic post-high school yeshivah located in Jerusalem, dedicated to preparing young men for college, business and life with a strong foundation in Torah and misvot. Rooted in the rich traditions of Aram Soba and guided by the timeless Sephardic values of our ancestors, we strive to cultivate future leaders—Bnei Torah—who will carry their experience of living and learning in Eres Yisrael into every aspect of their lives.
Love of Torah
& Learning
At Yeshivat Moreshet Yerushalayim, we are dedicated to cultivating a deep love for Torah and learning by fostering an environment of intellectual curiosity and spiritual growth. Our dynamic curriculum, taught by passionate rabbis, challenges students to engage with Torah texts at the highest level while building strong connections to Jewish roots. Through personalized mentorship and a supportive community, we inspire students to develop a lifelong commitment to Torah study and personal development. All Torah that is studied at Yeshivat Moreshet Yerushalayim is in loving memory of Ovadia Buddy Sutton A"H.
Israel: Past, Present & Future
At Yeshivat Moreshet Yerushalayim, we believe there’s no better place to foster a deep connection to Torah than in the heart of Israel. Our students explore the land through meaningful trips, from walking to the Kotel on Shabuot to special Yom Ha’asmaut celebrations, allowing them to experience the rich culture and history firsthand. These experiences help students develop a profound love for the Land of Israel, strengthening both their Jewish identity and connection to the heritage that surrounds them.
Rabbi-Student Relationships
The bond between students and rabbis goes well beyond the Bet Midrash. Whether it’s seeking advice, joining the rabbis for Shabbat meals or celebrating holidays together, our rabbis are deeply involved in students’ lives, offering personal guidance and mentorship. This close-knit relationship continues long after the year ends, with students and rabbis connecting on a weekly basic.
Preserving Sephardic Heritage
Our approach to Torah at Yeshivat Moreshet Yerushalayim is rooted in the rich traditions of Sephardic heritage. We teach Gemara, Tur and Bet Yosef through the Sephardic approach. In Halakha classes, there is a strong emphasis on community minhagim. Students are taught hazzanut and taamim. Every year, several students learn how to read the Megillah for Purim, ensuring that these treasured traditions are passed down through the generations.
Sports & Recreation
Beyond rigorous Torah study, students stay active with daily gym sessions, a Friday football league, Saturday night pickup basketball, and Tuesday night basketball leagues, ensuring they stay physically fit while having fun. After all, it’s not just about strengthening your mind—it’s about keeping your body healthy and energized too!
Beyond the Year
The journey at Yeshivat Moreshet Yerushalayim doesn’t end with the completion of the year. We offer summer learning opportunities, spearheaded by alumni, in Deal, New Jersey. We have reunions, both formal and informal. It's not uncommon for students to come visit the school during the college breaks to learn and reconnect with each other- which we love! When the year concludes, it’s just the beginning of a lifelong journey of Torah learning, personal growth, meaningful friendships and continued community involvement.
Yeshivat Moreshet Yerushalayim is a proud partner of the Yeshiva University S. Daniel Abraham Israel Program.
