Yeshiva Noam Yisrael
Every Jewish boy deserves an education that prepares and inspires him for life.
Noam Yisrael offers a tailored religious high school curriculum, with resources and support to help struggling boys thrive.
Youth struggling on the brink
About 25% of students in elementary school have some type of learning disability or learning difference. In the Ultra-Orthodox school system, they often progress through each subsequent grade even if they haven’t achieved the educational goals of that year.
However, once these children reach high school age, the scholastic challenges can overwhelm them. Even with tutors and adjusted academics, they simply cannot keep up with their peers.
This takes a tremendous toll on their self-esteem. They start to view themselves as dumb, untalented, unmotivated, and unable to accomplish anything of value, and they lose their will to even try.
It is critical that we intervene before a boy’s inevitable fall into delinquency and substance abuse. But there are many factors that get in the way.
That’s where Noam Yisrael comes in.
NoaM Yisrael:
An innovative high school for boys
Noam Yisrael is a yeshiva for boys from religious families who cannot make it in mainstream classrooms and need a customized curriculum. Classes and academic requirements are highly individualized to the specific student’s strengths and needs, without compromising the children’s religious outlooks and backgrounds.
Students graduate with a strong academic background and the skills they need to hold down a job and contribute to society. But more importantly, they develop a strong self-esteem and a deep understanding and connection to their Jewish heritage.
At Noam Yisrael, every student has greatness inside him. He just needs a little extra help to bring it out.
A unique approach
- All students come straight from elementary school, to avoid behavioral problems from large numbers of boys who've been expelled from other high schools.
- Unlike most Ultra-Orthodox yeshivas, Noam Yisrael teaches secular subjects, including math, as well as trades and life skills.
- The school atmosphere is positive and accepting, recognizing each's boy's inherent value and individuality.
A unique success
- The first graduating class has shown itself to be motivated, well integrated into society and ready to pursue careers.
- Word of mouth is leading to increasing enrollment. There is already a waiting list for next year.
- Other educational organizations are expressing interest in imitating Noam Yisrael's model, demonstrating the far reach of the school's impact
HOW you can make the difference
Most Noam Yisrael boys have monthly tuition paid by their families. However the school subsidizes many students from low-income families. We urgently need sponsors committed to changing the future for these boys.
Sponsor tuition for a student from a low-income family for $550/month or half tuition of $275/month
Support a year of studies for one of 45 subsidized students for $6,600
