Medrash Shmuel yeshiva
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Midrash Shmuel is a yeshiva for Talmudic studies located in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Shaarei Chessed. It was founded in April 1992 by Rabbi Binyomin Moskowits who functions as its Rosh HaYeshiva. At present, the yeshiva has over three hundred students.
Rabbi Moskowits is a highly regarded talmid chochom, thinker and educator. He has been a Rosh Yeshiva for over twenty five years. His famously profound gemara shiurim are heavily influenced by his Rebbi (and chavrusa), Rabbi Shmuel Rozovsky, after whom the yeshiva is named. His ethical lectures are influenced by Rabbi Yechezkel Levenstein. Rabbi Moskovits emphasizes a strong textual reading of relevant sources. His shiurim are characterized by incredible clarity and multi-level relevance. Most significantly, he strives to provide a context and approach in understanding how to arrive at drawing the essentials of any sugya so that his talmidim--roshei yeshiva, rabbonim and laymen alike--can become great talmidei chachomim in their own right. In this vein, every talmid in the Yeshiva delivers, at a minimum, two chaburos a month.
Midrash Shmuel also houses an introductory program called Aliyos Shmuel, with seperate tracks for younger and older students, who would like to advance themselves in Jewish thought and learning.
