A year, a season, or a taste.

Every format shares the same chevra, faculty, and warmth. They differ only in length.

Annual

The full academic year

August through June — the complete arc. The deepest growth, the strongest chevra, the foundation that lasts a lifetime.

Semester

Fall or spring

A single semester of serious immersion, for those not ready to commit a full year but ready to begin.

Winter

Miami Torah Experience

An intensive winter-break program — learning, trips, and community under the South Florida sun.

Summer

Summer session

Six weeks of learning and discovery — an ideal first step into the beis midrash.

What the year holds.

Curriculum

An introduction to Talmud, Jewish law, Chumash, and Chassidic thought. Beyond the structured courses, every student is given room to pursue his own way of learning, with faculty available for tutorials, private consultations, and informal discussion. Distinguished guest lecturers address the student body throughout the year.

A balanced experience

Rigorous study paired with culture, recreation, and rest. Structured classes, tutorials, and student-faculty forums are complemented by music, water activities, and sports — an education for both body and soul.

Scholarships available

Full scholarships are available for qualified students. Admission is selective, based on sincerity, character, and a genuine desire to learn — and limited prior exposure to Torah study is welcome.
