Mechon Hadar is no longer accepting applications for Yeshivat Hadar's summer session.
Yeshivat Hadar is animated by three central goals:
-To foster a community of students who engage in intensive Torah study, prayer and action.
-To offer a passionate vision of traditional Jewish life as a spiritual path.
-To empower students to build and contribute to vibrant Jewish communities across the United States.
Deadline for all applications is February 1, 2010.

Yeshivat Hadar Summer 2010
Yeshivat Hadar offers 36 fellows an intensive program in the heart of Manhattan's Upper West Side. The 8-week experience (June 13 - August 7, 2010) will combine traditional text study, egalitarian prayer and social action with a special focus on personal religious growth. Yeshivat Hadar will create a community of learning which will include seminars, havruta (paired learning), elective classes and time for independent study. Students will complete the program equipped with greater textual competence and broader knowledge of the Jewish tradition as a whole. Students will commit to bringing lessons from their summer experience to their local community.

Yeshivat Hadar 2010-2011
Next fall, Yeshivat Hadar will enter its second year as the only full-year, full-time egalitarian yeshiva in North America. The program will offer selected fellows an intensive program in New York City, anchored around empowerment, community and the search for meaning and purpose in Jewish life. Fellows are expected not only to participate in the program but to be partners in its launch as well. While the dates are still being finalized, prospective fellows should be available from October 2010 through May 2011. Like the summer program, the year-long program will create a community of learning which will include seminars, havruta (paired learning), elective classes and time for independent study. Students will complete the program equipped with greater textual competence and broader knowledge of the Jewish tradition as a whole. Students will commit to bringing lessons from their year experience to their local community.
