Overview

Mesivta Torah Vodaath Rabbinical Seminary is one of the oldest and most established yeshivas in the United States, based in Brooklyn, New York. It has served as a center of traditional Orthodox Talmudic study since the early twentieth century and played a significant role in shaping the growth of yeshiva education in America.

Its long history means an alumni network that includes many influential figures in American Orthodox Judaism's educational and rabbinic institutions; the course of study is religious rather than secular, centered on Talmud and preparation for rabbinic ordination and teaching.
