FEATURES
at heichal HaTorah

We are very impressed with all aspects of the Heichal HaTorah Experience. Starting with Rav Stechler and the hanhala, to the rebbeim teachers and staff, every member of the Heichal team is dedicated, professional and excels at what they do. The school’s building as well is large and well suited for the needs of the school. May the school go meichayil el chayil.

I have only been at Heichal for a few weeks and I already feel that the way I learn, the way I daven, and the way I serve Hashem has changed for the better.
YEHUDA BESSER, HEICHAL STUDENT
Because of the people I work with, the students I teach and the truthful nature of the mission.
MR. ELI KATZ
The students, staff, and hanhala work together in tandem to provide the best experience for the talmidim. The ruach of camaraderie and respect among the talmidim, staff, and hanhala is really remarkable.
RAV MORDECHAI REISS
Heichal’s vibe is one of happiness and comfort. The guys look out for one another. You can be comfortable being yourself. The rabbeim and talmidim are looking for ways to grow and help others grow as well.

RABBI DR. JOEL BERMANWHY DO I LOVE TEACHING AT HEICHAL?

Great environment of growth and warmth. Heichal is like no other. The talmidim here have each other’s backs and the rabbeim are always looking for ways to help talmidim in any way they can.
RAV CHAIM ZEV SENTER
It is rewarding to see a talmid who joins Heichal unsure of where he may be headed and, in just a few years, he has clarity as to what the Ribono Shel Olom wants from him.
RAV DOVID KOMET
It’s a privilege every day to have the opportunity to work with such an amazing group of people dedicated to the development and growth of Hakadosh Baruch Hu’s children!
RAV SHIMON KRONENBERG

RAV AVI OBERLANDERThe students are comfortable here. They love their teachers and the faculty members and it becomes readily apparent that, as they spend more time here, Heichal becomes a home to them rather than just an “educational institution”.
