Ohr hatzofun
“Ohr Hatzofun is a small, personal yeshiva in Jerusalem for American and English-speaking bachurim after high school. It is a good fit for a boy who wants serious learning but also does well with a smaller setting and a lot of personal attention from the rabbeim. The yeshiva has a strong focus on Gemara, alongside mussar, halacha and personal growth. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed rather than competitive, and the rabbeim are closely involved with the boys both in their learning and in their personal development. Because of its size and approach, Ohr Hatzofun can be a good option for a bachur who wants to grow in learning while also having strong relationships with his rabbeim and a more personal yeshiva experience.”
