Frequently asked questions
OUR TALMIDIM find the learning to be challenging, invigorating and rewarding. The ruach of sheifa, of striving permeates the Beis Medrash as the talmidim not only exhibit great hasmadah but also complete masechtos. A feeling of significant accomplishment is the welcome result. The yeshiva provides each talmid with the level of learning that will best suit an challenge him. To this end, there is a choice of shiurim and plenty of one-on-one time with rebbeim to achieve a better understanding of the Gemara. Regular chazara helps to ensure that what is learnt is also retained and deepens the talmid’s understanding of the sugya.
YTS was created for boys who have excelled in the early years of post-high school learning and who are interested in taking the next step in their learning and personal growth. It is precisely these two elements – previous successes and motivation to grow – that characterize our bocherim and avreichim.
YTS is located in the center of Yerushalayim in the English-speaking neighborhood of Ramat Eshkol bordering the large, beautiful Chamisha Asar Park.
THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS felt are not restricted to the area of learning. In addition to providing inspiring shmoozen, the rebbeim are avalaible to meet with talmidim for personal direction towards future growth in avodah, middos and shidduchim.
THE YESHIVA provides a dormitory, offers three meals a day and functions as a home as much as a yeshiva. Our close knit, almost family-like atmosphere is enhanced by the shabbosos spent with rebbeim and their families in the yeshiva as well as the periodic outings and shabbosos spent together outside the yeshiva.
The ROSHEl YESHIVA of Tehilas Shlomo learned together in the Mir Yeshiva in Yerushalayim and in Birchas Mordechai under HaGaon Harav Yaakov Friedman Shlita. The guidance and direction in learning and avodah which they received during those years have prepared them to provide the same, in turn for their talmidim.
Picture a room full of young men engrossed in Limud HaTorah. In a warm environment, we hover over our Gemaras, challenged by the text, aching to understand. Over hours, days, weeks, our perseverance pays off as we piece together the disparate parts of the puzzle.
Each of us approaches his learning with his own unique strengths. Each one with a varied background; each one with an approach different from that of the next. But in this room the differences merge, building a remarkable community that continuously climbs forward, embracing Torah and progressing in Avodas Hashem……
For seventeen years, YTS talmidim have experienced unparalleled growth.
For some of us it has been a kollel environment; for others a university; for others yet it has been as teachers and leaders of the next generation. No matter where we have gone or what we have chosen to do, the reputation of YTS talmidim remains second to none.
The “Tehilas Shlomo” impact has been well documented. Our Roshei Yeshiva and Rabbeim have been known to integrate the diverse student body into a cohesive unit without compromising on individuality. Each of us students, taught at his own level, has eventually come to grasp the depths of his learning. With the learning fortified by the emphasis placed on the importance of review, the material has been retained while a deeper understanding has been acquired.

Yes. Please contact us in advance and we will suggest the best time.
If your son has no preexisting conditions we recommend flying with two weeks travel insurance and that is enough time for him to go to the Meuchedet office next to Yeshivas Mir and sign up for Kupat Cholim, which costs about $50 per month. This is significantly cheaper than the alternatives that can be arranged before he travels. If he has preexisting conditions then contact us ASAP and we can help you figure out the best option.
Our yeshiva’s cell phone policy allows devices that don’t have picture capabilities. If you’d like to get an Israeli SIM card, feel free to choose any provider, but we recommend reaching out to Mrs. Libby Cohen at +972-52-320-3040 (available on WhatsApp as well). She speaks English and can help you find the best deal across all carriers, plus she offers delivery straight to the yeshiva. And don’t worry—she won’t pressure you into buying a phone if you don’t need one!
