Overview

Yeshiva Ohr Elchonon Chabad, also known as the West Coast Talmudical Seminary, is an Orthodox rabbinical school in Los Angeles affiliated with the Chabad-Lubavitch movement. It serves as one of the primary Chabad yeshivas on the West Coast, training men through intensive Talmud and Hasidic study toward rabbinic ordination.

Worth knowing

Like other Chabad yeshivas, its program is built around full-day religious study rather than a secular curriculum, and many graduates go on to serve as Chabad emissaries or communal rabbis rather than pursue conventional secular careers.
