I've studied and
worked internationally and have not met a group
of more friendly, honest and truth seeking
individuals than at Marbeh
Torah. After two years in Yeshiva I
can say with full conviction that the program,
as well as the whole operation of the yeshiva,
is done on a professional level, with progress,
self-development and Yiras Shamayim given top
priority. It is a yeshiva made up of menschen,
and has a standard of excellence for anyone
seeking to learn Gemara. The Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi
Elzas, is an embodiment of Torah dedication, and
his talmidim draw inspiration and enthusiasm
from his example. You can look forward to a warm
welcome and an uplifting experience from your
stay at Marbeh Torah.

After being awarded an
academic scholarship in Arts and Jewish studies,
and subsequently spending several years in
an intensive university program, I decided to
take a year off to study in Israel. I was
already involved in Jewish life on campus and
had an amazing group of friends. My warm, caring
parents always sought the best for me, yet, I
always felt that I could accomplish more. After
investigating many options, I found the ideal
opportunity for study and advancement in a
meaningful environment. A program that offers
personal instruction, devoted teachers, a
friendly, upbeat environment and flexibility -
it's Marbeh Torah. Here is a place that
recognizes how much potential you really have -
and knows how to help you bring it out! The
program is motivating and captivating; the
people are sincere and helpful. The
impressive Rabbis are deeply concerned and
personally involved with every student
and the teaching staff are of a unique
caliber, not to mention the fantastic community,
whose hospitality and warmth are
inspiring. It's an experience that
can't really be described - and shouldn't be
missed! Follow me to Marbeh Torah!

I joined the yeshiva recently
after receiving a BA Honors degree in Multi
Media Engineering from Nottingham Trent
University. Under the recommendation of my Rabbi
I came to Marbeh Torah. I was
looking for a studious Torah environment with an
emphasis on a strong camaraderie between the
students. Thank you Marbeh
Torah for providing what I always wanted from a
Yeshiva. I hope that more
people will take advantage of the opportunity
which I have been granted.

Words cannot explain the
experience. When I joined Marbeh Torah I was not
quite sure what I was seeking, except to be in a
place surrounded by ethically upright people who
strive to grow. My stay at the
yeshiva was so invigorating that when I had to
leave I was longing to return.
Boruch HaShem, I'm back and loving every minute
of it. When my brother saw how much I enjoyed
the experience, he decided to join me for the
next semester.

My year at Marbeh Torah was one of the best years of my life. Everyone there was bright, kind, sincere, spiritual, and super-friendly. It exceeded all my expectations and has made changes in my life that, with HaShem's help, will last forever. I'm thankful for the time I could spend there and know that my family and children are benefiting from what I learned there. By affecting each and every student in an profound way, Marbeh Torah is truly making the world a better place.
