Spiritual Guidance

Heichal provided a warm home that made me feel excited about the life I was going to lead in my future. They gave me constant hope and optimism for my success even when I was not at my best. The level of achdus amongst Rabbeim and students is something I will cherish for life.

Heichal Alumnus

The adolescent years are fraught with questions and challenges, particularly in this age of technology and open society. Heichal has both a Mashgiach and Mashpiah, who both spend hours each day meeting individually Heichal talmidim. Rav Daniel Schwechter, former Mashgaich of Westchester Day School and now the Mashgiach of Heichal, is known for his ability to inspire all high school boys and connect them with Hashem in a deep and meaningful way. Whether it is a masterful mashal or an intricate piece of chassidus, Rav Schwechter finds a way to connect with the hearts and souls of all our talmidim.

Rav Chaim Marcus, Rabbi of Springfield, NJ and formerly senior rebbe at Bruriah High School, serves as the Heichal Mashpiah. Both parents and talmidim flock to speak with him privately to receive his world-renowned compassionate advice on raising children and growing up in these challenging times. His inspiring divrei Torah radiate throughout Heichal’s bais medrash and bring exciting ruach to our tisches.

My experience with Heichal HaTorah was a really positive one. The rabbeim at Heichal are really caring and always there for each and every talmid. It was really beautiful being part of an institution that stands for Torah and the spreading of Torah. I had such a wonderful time at Heichal that I wish I could go back!
