College/Post-College Schedule
Switch between the tabs below to explore the different parts of the day of the College/Post-College Program.
Gemara B’Iyun (Depth), 9:00 AM–1:00 PM
Each morning, Sunday through Thursday, begins with Shacharit in yeshiva followed by breakfast. Then it’s time for morning seder, the core of traditional yeshiva learning. You’ll alternate between seder — preparing the texts independently or with a chavruta — and shiur, where you’ll deepen your understanding in an interactive class with your rebbe.
With two learning tracks, we support students at different levels: one track focuses on building foundational skills in Gemara, while the other offers intermediate learners the opportunity to stretch themselves in the Rosh Yeshiva’s shiur.
Exploring the Broader Canon, 2:00 PM–5:30 PM
After a break for lunch, learning continues with an afternoon of intellectually and spiritually expansive classes. This is where Orayta shines — bringing together a range of voices and topics to help you discover the ideas that move you.
Courses include:
- In-Depth Jewish Thought with R’ David Aaron
- Tefillah with R’ Binny Freedman
- Issues in Jewish Thought with R’ Yitzchak Blau
- Mussar & Personal Growth with R’ Judah Dardik
- Philosophy of Halakha with R’ Dovid Silverstein
- Revolutionaries in Torah with R’ Dovid’l Weinberg
- Chumash B’Iyun with R’ Gavriel Singer
- Nach B’Iyun with R’ Noam Himelstein
- Contemporary Halakhic Questions with R’ Adi Krohn
Optional — Gemara Bekiut (Breadth), 8:00 PM–10:00 PM
For those enrolled in the full-day program (instead of an evening internship, remote job, or university course), the optional evening seder focuses on bekiut — covering more Gemara material at a brisker pace to build familiarity and fluency in Torah She’ba’al Peh. You’ll also have time for independent learning and personal growth projects.
