Introduction

Established in 1995, the Irving I. Stone Beit Midrash Program offers men undergraduates a Jewish studies option designed for preprofessional students and others with time constraints. It maintains a high level of traditional Talmud study in a diversified curriculum. In addition to Talmud hakhanah (preparation), and shiur (lecture), the program includes courses in Machshevet Yisrael (Jewish thought, ethics, and philosophy) and Halakhah (Jewish Law). Students derive the unique benefits of learning in a yeshiva environment.

Although the program does not lead to a degree, specified credit is transferable to all BA programs at Yeshiva College and BS programs at Sy Syms.
