Heichal Is My Home Bais

Heichal HaTorah is dedicated
to providing a classic yeshiva education and superior general studies program with excitement, warmth, and passion for growth.

Heichal strikes the perfect balance between limudei kodesh, limudei chol, physical activity, spiritual growth, derech eretz, and time for the students to hang out. There is support for the talmidim on all levels. The administration actually listens to the parent body and is very supportive. I feel that my son is in the best possible place to facilitate his growth and development on many levels. I can’t say enough about this incredible Yeshiva.

Our son graduated from Heichal. His experience was amazing on so many levels—the Rebbeim, the learning, the secular education, the social aspect, the sports, the trips. His brothers in 11th grade love it too!

RABBI DUVIE WEISS, HEICHAL PARENT
Message From Rav Aryeh Stechler

Welcome to Heichal HaTorah!

Ten years ago, we had a dream and, Baruch Hashem, it has come to fruition! Our cherished graduates have distinguished themselves in their communities as fine young men of exemplary character, learning away hour after hour in the Bais Medrash. These budding talmidei chachamim are now learning in some of the most prominent yeshivos in Israel. Many have returned to the United States to pursue college degrees and continue their Torah learning – at the Heichal Bais Medrash & College Program, Lander College, Yeshiva University and Ner Yisroel, many with significant academic scholarships. We have this same hope and vision for all of our 200+ talmidim.

“THE PASSION FOR TORAH AMONG OUR TALMIDIM IS PALPABLE IN THE EXCITING KOL TORAH THAT CAN BE HEARD IN THE HEICHAL BAIS MEDRASH EACH DAY. ”

At Heichal, we focus on encouraging our young men to grow in their davening and avodas Hashem. Our outstanding team of twenty rebbeim, led by Rav Avi Oberlander, Judaic Studies Principal, warmly encourages our talmidim to become passionately committed to Torah learning. Over 50 percent of our talmidim received awards for learning bein hazmanim, 75 percent master an entire masechta or two each year, 55 percent study Torah in a learning program over the summer, more than 40 percent review an entire masechta over the summer, and 20 percent stay voluntarily for 2 hours of Night Seder every night of the week. The passion for Torah among our talmidim is palpable in the exciting Kol Torah that can be heard in the Heichal Bais Medrash each day.
Rabbi Maccabee Avishur, our Academic Dean and Principal of General Studies, has worked tirelessly to enhance our first-rate general studies faculty, which comprises veteran teachers and carefully selected educators. Our small and tracked classes maximize the attention paid to the learning needs of each student. We have a robust STEM department. Our Math teachers were provided by the TEACHNJ program, and our faculty is comprised of award-wining public school teachers from Bergen County schools. Our History and English program, the Tikvah Program in the Humanities at Heichal, a neo-classical curriculum written by the Tivkah Fund, was recognized for excellence in the Wall Street Journal.

“OUR YESHIVA’S GOAL IS TO GUIDE EACH STUDENT TO
DEVELOP HIS FULL POTENTIAL. ”

Every Heichal student has unique qualities and strengths. Our yeshiva’s goal is to guide each student to develop his full potential. Partnering with Rav Daniel Schwechter, Mashgiach; Rav Chaim Marcus, Mashpiah; and Dr. Ari Klein, Director of Guidance, mentoring each student and tracking his four-year growth trajectory is the most meaningful part of my day.

“HEICHAL IS DEDICATED TO MAKING SURE YOUR SON LOVES TO COME TO YESHIVA EVERY DAY. ”

Our student life program consists of over 30 extra-curricular clubs that meet during the regular yeshiva day. In addition, at least once a month every boy experiences a fun program, awesome trip or life-altering Shabbaton. Heichal is dedicated to making sure your son loves to come to yeshiva every day. Walking through the halls, you see boys smiling and having a great time. Heichal is one of the most fun places in the world!
