INSTITUTIONAL PHILOSOPHY

The program at the Yeshiva College of the Nation’s Capital is directed toward the development of individuals whose lives will be enriched by devotion to learning.

Excellence in intellectual and ethical pursuits is a common goal shared by the faculty and students of our institution.

MISSION STATEMENT

The Yeshiva College of the Nation’s Capital is a community of scholars dedicated to providing a vigorous and comprehensive education in Talmud and Classical Jewish Studies. Using a curriculum based on the Talmud and other classical Jewish works, students will be expected to become proficient in the historical and intellectual development of classical Jewish literature and see it as a basis for Western thought.

ACADEMIC FOCUS

For many centuries following the writing of the Bible, Jewish legal principles and interpretations were maintained as an oral tradition entrusted to the careful memory of select scholars. Due to historical circumstances, it was determined to record the oral legal tradition first in the Mishna, and several centuries later in the Talmud. The Yeshiva places primary emphasis on the study of Jewish classics in their original texts. The vast tractates of the Talmud and the classical commentaries of medieval scholars constitute one of the core ingredients of the curriculum.
