Sedarim
Morning Seder The student body is divided into a number of different shiurim (class-levels), based on level of proficieny. Each shiur has its own "Ram" (Rabbi). Additionally, Rabbi Simcha Krauss gives a shiur to the higher levels brought together once a week. Classes meet for one hour in the morning, followed by an hour and a half of group study to familiarize students with the sources, followed by another Afternoon Seder Afternoon seder has its own set of "Ramim" (Rabbis). There are separate sets of Rabbis for Halacha, Tanach and Machshava classes, although some of the Rabbis teach in multiple sedarim. Afternoon seder is split into two shiurim by a fifteen-minute break. The two shiurim are selected from a number of options during a shopping period at the beginning of each semester.
Night Seder and Kollel Part of night seder includes learning with an Israeli chavruta. Students are encouraged to spend the rest of night seder pursuing independent projects in Jewish study by themselves or with other students. The Israelis are members of a kollel who live and learn in Eretz HaTzvi, although they attend university during the day. Night Seder is also supervised by Rabbi Nir Knoll and Nadav Schwartz.
Yeshiva Traditions
Every spring, the school holds a week-long competition between the different shiurim in honor of Purim.
It is tradition for every student to give a brief talk to the entire student body once during the year. These talks are given twice a week, in the morning, so that each student should get a chance to speak at some point during the year.
Other faculty
- The Zionism seminar is taught by Rabbi Alex Israel, (as well as Rav Berman).
- The Yeshiva employs an Av Bayit (dormitory head) and Eim Bayit (housemother), and four madrichim (counselors). The current Av Bayit is Rabbi Yitz Motzen.
- Various talks are given by Rav Aviad Tabory, son of the well known Rav Binyamin Tabory of Gush.
