Yeshiva Zichron Yaakov (ישיבה זכרון יעקב) was an all-male Jewish Orthodox high school located in New Hempstead, New York which operated under the direction and leadership of Rabbi Eliyahu Maza. It closed in 2013.
History
The school was founded in 1999 and graduated its first class in 2003.
Affiliaton
The school was an affiliate of the Rabbinical Seminary of America,[1] (which is more commonly known as Chofetz Chaim). As such, its curriculum and ideals match those of the Chofetz Chaim Yeshivas.
Curriculum
The school combines a traditional Lithuanian-style Yeshiva schedule in the morning with a notable General Studies program in the afternoon to provide a proper education to its students.
Judaic Studies
The primary portion of the Judaic Studies curriculum was study of the Babylonian Talmud. Mussar study was considered paramount, and the study of the book Chofetz Chaim highly recommended by the school. The Judaic Studies program also consisted of Halacha and Tanach. (Study of the Hebrew Language was part of the General Studies program.)
General Studies
The typical student in the school took all the required Regents Examinations by the conclusion of four years of schooling: English, two courses in Mathematics, two Sciences (usually Biology and Chemistry), two History courses (World History and Geography and U.S. History and Government), and one foreign language.
Alumni
Most (if not all) Yeshiva Zichron Yaakov graduates continue their studies upon graduation at more advanced yeshivas and/or universities.
A notable alumnus is Daniel Friedman, a Councilman in the Town of Ramapo.
