Mission Statement
Yeshivat Hechal Shemuel is committed to providing a Torah education in the Orthodox Jewish tradition to qualified students, irrespective of prior Talmudic experience or family background. At Hechal Shemuel, we are dedicated to generating and preserving Torah knowledge, molding students who are proficient at Talmudic learning on a sophisticated level. The Yeshiva is modeled in the tradition of the great European Yeshivot of prior generations (e.g., Volozhin, Mir, and Baranovich). Prayer, Halachah, Mussar and Chazarah, are arranged around a core of in-depth Talmud study (Iyun) and breadth of Talmud study (B’kiyus). Our objectives at Hechal Shemuel are to: • Serve as an advanced institution of higher education for the Sephardic community in Brooklyn, and a beacon of Torah for the wider Sephardic community. • Mold serious Talmudic scholars who are well-versed in all areas of Talmud, Bible, Ethics and Jewish Law. • Form responsible and considerate B’nei Torah who are well-equipped for the shifting ethical landscape of today’s world. • Instruct the next generation of Sephardic scholars in the study of Talmud, Mussar, and Halacha.
