Mechon Hadar Guest

“This is my best bet for the future of the Jews.”

"I have a completely renewed sense of commitment to my Judaism, and I have been reminded that while it can be a difficult endeavor to maintain this commitment and keep it a central part of my life, Yeshivat Hadar has reminded me how beautiful a life committed to Torah can be, and I have resolved to make sure that learning stays a large part of my life."

"Having spent the past year learning at Yeshivat Hadar, the first halakhic and egalitarian yeshiva outside of Israel, I can attest to the spirit of openness and respect that pervades such a holy space.  This was the best learning and davvening I've experienced consistently in my life, learning from excellent teachers both men and women.  Learning Torah and growing in emotional and creative intelligence should be informed but never bounded by our gender identity."

“I feel privileged, honored and inspired to have been a part of the Hadar community and am certain that the positive reverberations of this experience will continue to emerge throughout the course of my life. With deepest sincerity and gratitude, thank you!”

“I have been profoundly changed by the sense of community I felt at the yeshiva, and by the deep mutual respect and investment in one another that I experienced at Hadar. I would really like to be part of communities like this in the future, and I hope to make steps to make my home communities some how reflect these values.”

“I now feel responsible and empowered in a way that I did not before.”
