יוֹרוּ" דברים לג"י"

"They shall teach" (Deuteronomy 33, 10)

​

WHY?

Tomorrow’s Jewish leaders are the students of today. There is a great need for a program to develop leadership skills of young people from the traditional Jewish community, a program offering a diverse curriculum alongside Torah study and personal growth. This is necessary in order to educate, inspire and motivate a cadre of potential leaders that can relate to the millions of Jews inside and outside of the traditional community. The ideal time for this kind of program is during the Yeshiva and seminary years which are the most formative years of young men and women in terms of defining their goal towards their future careers.

 

WHAT?

Yoru is a full year game-changing program of lectures, workshops and classes integrating into Yeshivot and seminaries in Israel and abroad. The program is designed to cultivate the next generation of dynamic leaders and teachers. The Yoru leadership program includes comprehensive knowledge in Jewish philosophy and is augmented by a broad curriculum in organizational and leadership skills, education, public speaking, effective communication, and technology to prepare a young person for a career in community service.

 

Yoru includes top lecturers from a variety of disciplines and communities and offers dedicated career placement services to its graduates.

​

WHEN?

Yoru began its initial pilot program for students of the well known Mir Yeshiva of Jerusalem in Arzei Habirah in the summer semester of 5775 (April 2015). It is now ready to expand and offer its program to many more Jewish learning institutions.
