Distance Learning Program

The Bircas HaTorah Distance Learning Program embodies the Yeshiva’s pledge to extend its commitment to excellence in Torah learning to the broader Jewish community. Distance Students receive private instruction from top educators at the student’s convenience. The sessions take place over phone or various electronic means. The program is open to Alumni as well as the Jews from around the world.

A personalized study program designed with the student’s interests and goals is created. The subject matter for learning can run through the whole of Jewish thought, scholarship, and knowledge. The learning style emphasizes teaching the skills needed to independently analyze and understand the text in a deep and profound way.
