A New and Exciting Yeshiva
Ohel Tora is a new and exciting yeshiva with over 300 current students and 200 more beginning in September. This kollel came under the wing of Midrash Sephardi (Shehebar Sephardic Center) five years ago in the Old City. Headed by Rabbi Shimon Moalem, a gaon known for his theoretical and innovative lessons, he raises the spiritual level of each student. So many students came that the school was moved to a much larger building in Ramat Shlomo.
Ohel Tora was founded in 5700 by Gaon Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky and Rabbi Moshe Tzedaka, Shlit’a. Five years ago, Rabbi Moalem came to Rabbi Shlomo Kassin, Dean of Shehebar Sephardic Center, and they agreed to work on opening this yeshiva and expanding it.
The yeshiva boasts a large hall and spacious building where hundreds of students flock for in-depth scholarly study. The yeshiva has a strong academic atmosphere and is perfect for young men who want to study Torah at a high level. Once they pass the entrance exam, students are treated with respect and embrace the challenging curriculum. The school has a warm ambiance and offers quality conditions conducive to learning. The school provides a low-stress environment for learning.
In September, Ohel Tora will add 20 staff members to accommodate the growing student body. Classes will be divided into four parts so there will be room for everybody. This is a resounding success, and even more so since the yeshiva has been under SSC leadership for only five years.
No Sephardic yeshiva has been able to accomplish such incredible growth and learning. Ohel Tora is special in its style and among the best in the world. The reputation of its scholars is amazing.
