Yeshiva of Belle Harbor
click here to visit the YBH website!
 

Principal: Mrs. Roseman

President:  Jonathan Roberts
 
 

 Focusing its curriculum on building a
child's self-esteem as well as providing a well-rounded education, YBH is
the originator of the Alef-Bais Mitzvah Curriculum for Early Childhood.
 The curriculum gives each student an extensive Hebrew and secular
education, uses off-site trips to enhance classroom study, and engages
students in a first-hand involvement in chesed projects.  This unique
curriculum won the Behrman Publishing House Curriculum Contest.  The
yeshiva currently has 110 students, with classes ranging from a 2-year-old
nursery through 5th grade.  YBH is proud of its well-trained staff, which
includes many Gruss award winners, its extensive Hebrew and English
resource rooms, and its fully stocked English and Judaica libraries.

YBH is a modern, Orthodox Day School. The school was founded in 1959 and
has established itself as an extremely caring institution.  The classes are
kept small to provide for the individual needs of all the students.

The secular curriculum meets the standards of all private schools and is
updated as changes take place.  YBH students perform in the upper 90th
percentile on standardized tests and this past year YBH had a finalist in
the citywide spelling bee at Madison Square Garden.  The Hebrew/Judaic
curriculum is in keeping with the programs found in the other Day Schools
in the New York Metropolitan area. The classes are conducted in Ivrit
B'ivrit.  Staff is sensitive to the needs of all of the children and
willingly lends the extra support that may be needed in the classroom
setting.

YBH boasts of having a very mixed population on all religious levels.
 Please direct any families that might benefit from a modern Orthodox
education to Rabbi Osdoba at the yeshiva office.
 
 

MERCAZ HATORAH

Mercaz Hatorah of Belle Harbor is, B"H, swelling with activity as its
student enrollment exceeds its past year by 20%.  The Yeshiva, located at
505 Beach 129 Street, attracts students from all over the United States as
well as Canada.  Yeshiva Mercaz Hatorah, headed by the Rosh Ha Yeshiva,
Rabbi Levi Dicker, is well known for its high quality and excellence in
Torah learning and at the same time maintains a superb secular education
accredited by the NYS Department of Education.

Besides offering a full fledged High School Mesivta Program in Limudei
Kodesh and Limudei Chol, Mercaz Hatorah is now hosting a Chavrusa program
which is open to all members of the Belle Harbor Community.  Chavrusas are
available for individuals as well as for groups.  It's a real nachas to see
the Baalei Batim of the community learning with the same enthusiasm and
zest as the talmidim in the Yeshiva.  A number of Shiurim are currently
being delivered on a weekly basis at various locations in the community,
including the renowned Sunday morning Shiur given by Rabbi Levi Dicker, as
well as the acclaimed Tuesday night Shiur given by Rabbi Yechiel Biberfeld,
a former talmid of the Yeshiva.

Stop by mornings, afternoons and nights while the Yeshiva is in session and
join them for their conveniently timed minyanim.  Daily morning Minyan is
at 7:30 and a daily 9:30 PM Maariv Minyan is the latest minyan in town.
