Orayta offers an inspirational and integral comprehensive approach to Torah; nurturing the mind, heart and spirit. In Orayta’s warm intimate environment students will develop an individual personal relationship with their Rabbis.

Orayta, located in the Old City overlooking the Kotel, is housed in a magnificent 900 year old Crusader building with an incredible rooftop view of the temple Mount (Har Habayit), Mount of Olives and into the Judean desert.

At Orayta students will develop leadership skills and become philosophically equipped to cope with the challenges of living a Torah life in a modern secular world.

Students will be introduced to a wide diversity of Jewish thinkers including the teachings of Rav Abraham Isaac Kook, Rabbi J.B. Soloveitchik and the Chassidic Masters.

Talmudic study at Orayta is unlike any other Yeshiva. Students will understand why they learn Gemara and the vital role it plays in their personal development.  The year will not just simply focus on one or two Tractates. Rather we will probe sections selected from the entire Talmud that are relevant to the student’s life and typify the gamut of archetypical modalities of Talmudic logic. 

At Orayta the student’s study of Emunah (Faith and Philosophy), Chumash and Nach (Bible) is undertaken with the same serious depth of intellectual intensity as the study of Talmud.
 
At Orayta no question is out of bounds. Students are encouraged to ask any and every question necessary to forge their own unique individualized relationship with Hashem, Torah life and Eretz Yisrael. 

Weekly touring enables the students to relive Jewish History and experience a profound love for Eretz Yisrael—Tours includes Massada, Ein Gedi, Dead Sea, Negev, Eilat, Gush Etzion, Golan Heights, Galil, Tiberias, Tzfat...

Orayta will offer parents opportunities to learn and grow with their children, via programming during Mid-Winter break and Isralight Retreats.
