The CY has impacted me in several ways. The yeshiva is like immersion in a mikva: not all results are immediately apparent. However, I have found new connections to Jewish practice and have learned new ways to look at the mishna, PLUS – my Hebrew is much better! There have been so many highlights of this program. One was the Ezrat Yisrael services at the Egal part of the Western Wall has been a highlight. If you want to learn/improve your Hebrew- COME! If you enjoy Torah study – COME! If you want to connect more deeply with your Judaism – COME!

My textual knowledge increased so much. It was wonderful studying with other Jews from around the world and hearing different perspectives.

An outstanding opportunity for retired Rabbis such as myself, to study Torah on a high level with an outstanding scholar and share with fellow Rabbis.

The CY is an absolutely non-judgmental environment. They take you as you are – both students and faculty. The faculty is open so that every student can learn differently and is able to study in a way that is meaningful for them.

There is an amazing atmosphere of study in the Beit Midrash. Even outside of class hours something is always happening, someone is always learning. The Conservative Yeshiva is a place where there is always someone to consult with when you don’t understand a text and where people ask questions that I would never have thought of. It’s amazing to be in a class where each person brings their unique understanding and fresh perspective to the table.
