An immersive Yeshiva experience in Jerusalem for serious young men who want more than just another trip.
Aleph brings young men to Jerusalem for a few focused weeks of Torah learning, personal growth, and travel around Israel.
Mornings are spent learning Gemara in small groups, followed by Ta’amei HaMitzvos, the meaning behind the mitzvos. Afternoons bring Chumash with Rashi, workshops on career, relationships, and purpose, time with rabbis and mentors, and trips, hikes, and sports.
Gemara, Chumash, and text skills that last a lifetime.
Real mentorship and honest conversations that shape character.
Travel, history, and adventure throughout the Holy Land.
Climb, hike, play, and challenge your body alongside your mind.
“When I boarded the plane back to the States, I was leaving Israel with real emunah. It was on this trip that I started actually believing in Hashem and praying to Him with my whole heart.”
“Aleph fundamentally redefined my understanding of what it means to be Jewish.”
“Everyone loved being part of Aleph. Rabbi Avi and Rabbi Jimmy created an awesome group dynamic and allowed us to learn in a comfortable and challenging way.”
“Rabbi Avi and Rabbi Jimmy have an unbelievable style of guidance. They challenge the guys to grow without ever being pushy, meeting students at their level and elevating them to higher learning and shmiras hamitzvos.”
“Aleph offered an amazing diversity of thought provoking educational experiences and creative personal growth activities. The experience lasted with my students far beyond the length of the program. I would recommend this to any mkarev who has students who are ready and willing to transition into a more engaged relationship with their Judaism.”
