Beit Midrash
The Beit Midrash (study hall) is the focal point and "crowning
jewel" of The Howard P. Ronson Family Genesis Center Campus.
A majestic space for Torah study and Tefillah that resonates
with "Kavod HaTorah", the Beit Midrash is the center
of activity in Yeshiva, and is a comfortable, inviting home for
our students.
With tall, domed ceilings, exquisite stained glass windows, and stunning
panoramic views of the valley below, our air conditioned
Beit Midrash houses a full array of essential sefarim,
on topics ranging from Nach, Chumash, Talmud Bavli and Yerushalmi,
Rishonim and Achronim, Machshava, Musar, Tanach, and Halachah. Each
student choses their own makom for davening and learning, and
are provided with shelf space and individual cabinets to
store Tefillin, sefarim and notebooks.
