FAQ
What is an Out Shabbat?
An Out Shabbat is when the whole Yeshiva travels away as a group to various communities or interesting cities around Israel. The students are ether hosted in hotels, youth hostels, or even in homes of community members. There is also usually a set program similar to In Shabbatot. Often a tiyul is incorporated into the trip, before or after the Shabbat.
What is not covered by the health insurance policy?
Pre-existing conditions, well-care, routine check-ups, chronic conditions (eg. asthma, Krohn\'s disease, diabetes, etc.), conditions which began before the insurance period, injuries caused due to alcohol and drugs, self inflicted injuries. Further information is available from our insurance agency on request.
What is the school's policy on dress code?
The Yeshiva dress code requires students to wear shirts with collars, no jeans, and shoes with socks. White dress shirts and dress pants are required for Shabbat.
What is the school's policy on having friends over from other yeshivot?
Students may have friends over from other yeshivot provided they make a request in advance to the office. The Yeshiva reserves the right to deny requests as it sees fit.
What is the school's policy on security measures?
We make every effort to impress upon our students an awareness of the situation in Israel, and inform and advise them on safety and security precautions. We regularly monitor the whereabouts of our students and, with cooperation from the students themselves, maintain constant contact throughout their year here. Security personnel accompany students on all tiyulim.
When can I visit the Yeshiva during the year?
You are welcome to visit the Yeshiva at any time during the year. Kindly inform us in advance so that we know to expect you and are able to advise you on the Yeshiva's schedule and office hours during the dates of your visit.
When I visit Israel, can my son stay with us in our hotel/at our family?
If your visit in Israel coincides with a vacation or an Optional Shabbat or Optional Yom Tov, your son is welcome to join you provided a request is made to the office and that permission is granted. Students are to refrain from missing class, so any weekday absences (as well as overnight) are not permitted, unless special permission has been granted by the Administration.
When the Yeshiva is closed for vacation, can my son stay in his dorm?
The dormitories are open all year round and students may stay in Yeshiva even when the Yeshiva is on vacation or when the office is closed.
Who do I call in case of emergency?
Any emergencies should be reported to our office in Israel on (02) 533-9100. After hours, please call our COO, Danny Ben Meir, at 212-444-1663 (Israeli mobile: 052-471-1480).
Why is it compulsory to pay for the Yeshiva health insurance policy?
Experience has shown that health insurance policies from abroad do not always provide comprehensive coverage in Israel and can often create more problems than solutions. Working with a reputable insurance agency and medical aid company enables us to obtain the best medical services that Israel has to offer and equips us with the tools to monitor every case with up-to-the-minute information and advice.
