Jerusalem yeshiva opens its doors to students from all backgrounds
TORONTO [Staff] —
you may have heard of an open university, but have you ever heard of an open yeshiva?
There is one in Jerusalem. It's the Academy of Jewish Studies, designed for students with either a limited or non-existent bacliground in that area, and for more advanced students who want to improve their skills.
Yeshivat Dvar Yerusha-layim has grown so rapidly that a move to a new development is already underway. Now situated in the Geula area of Jerusalem, the yeshiva plans to rehabilitate and develop a deserted Arab village called Lifat on the northwestern approach to Jerusalem.
Courses at the open institute range from the aleph-bet and basic Judaism to post-rabbinic research. There is an iilpan at four levels. A diploma of Jewish studies is issued at the end of the one-year course. College credits are also offered.
The yeshiva, on its new development of 300 du-nams of land, hopes to set up an international education settlement with a Torah academy, residential facilities for 880 students, a seminary for 350 girls, a cultural centre, a research department, a teachers' training centre, a holiday and rest resort. a Jewish arts and craft centre and a residential area.
Rabbi Baruch Horowitz, a Mancunian, now dean of the academy, was recently in Toronto to talk about the expansion of his institution. It has 20 persons on staff now with 180 students, six from Canada. While in Toronto, he spoke at York Uniyersity and University of Toronto, where he hoped to recruit Sflme potential students.
In his North American tour. Rabbi Horowitz has found an upsurge of Jewish spiritual awareness
Rabbi Baruch Horowitz, dean of The Academy of Jewish Studies in Jerusalem, lectures to a class. School is designed for students without any knowledge or for those youths who wish to take advanced studies.
among young people. He hopes to attract them to Israel and to acquaint them with sources of Jewish religion and morality.. At the same time, he is recruiting staff for an expanded yeshiva.
He claims his yeshiva has no political'0C-_partt--san theological affiliation whatsoever. It is a multilingual academy with lectures and discussions in Hebrew. English, Russian, Spanish and French.
The institute is supported by private donors from all over the world, tuition fees and government funds.
Rabbi Horowitz left Manchester in 1971 to found the Jerusalem yeshiva "to meet the needs of that generation of idealistic students who had become disenchanted with spurious ideologies, whether of foreign or Jewish origin.
"Their studies at university had not proved
entirely satisfying nor had their encounter with the religious establishment
given them a sense of fulfilment," he says. "Their need was for a sophistica-
ted introduction to the source material of Judaism."
