Overview

The Rabbi Jacob Joseph School, now based in Edison, New Jersey, is one of the oldest yeshiva institutions in America, tracing its history back to New York's Lower East Side in the early twentieth century. Its collegiate-level program centers on advanced Talmudic study for men in the traditional yeshiva format.

Worth knowing

Its long lineage back to the Lower East Side gives it a distinct place in the history of American Orthodox Judaism, apart from newer yeshivas founded during later waves of immigration. Day-to-day life centers on full days of Talmud study rather than a conventional academic schedule.
