Conservative Yeshiva

The Conservative Yeshiva is a co-educational institute for study of traditional Jewish texts in Jerusalem, Israel. The Yeshiva was founded in 1995 and is under the Academic Auspices of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America.

Rosh Yeshivas are Rabbi Shmuel (Richie) Lewis, Rabbi Pesach Schindler and Rabbi Joel Roth.

The Yeshiva offers Jews from outside the Orthodox world to gain the advanced Jewish learning and communal experiences provided by attending a Yeshiva. The Yeshiva offers a synthesis of traditional and critical methods, allowing Jewish texts and tradition to encounter social change and modern scholarship. The curriculum focuses on classical Jewish subjects, including Talmud, Tanach, Midrash, Halacha, and Philosophy. Learning is conducted in the traditional yeshiva method (shiur and chavruta) with an openness to modern scholarship.

The Conservative Yeshiva's educational programs include the one-year program, pre-college program, advanced studies program, summer program, and Nativ Yeshiva Track.
