Life Skills

We live together, work together, and learn together. That gives us a lot of opportunities to learn from each other and to grow from these experiences.

Responsibility

We are a large “family” here in the Yeshiva and each person has his duty to take care of “our home”.
We do the cooking, cleaning, planning, purchasing, menu planning, serving, and everything else.
It doesn’t feel like a pain; it feels amazing.

Feeling Accomplished

“If the food doesn’t taste great, I’ll hear about it really quickly and we’ll probably change that recipe;
but if everyone likes it, I’ll be falling asleep at night with a smile on my face.”

-Shimi

“Over time, I have learned how to run an organization.
Show me a place that would give me that kind of opportunity.”

Tools for life

 

Independence is something that is developed over a continuum of time and experience.
It comes with gradual responsibilities and becoming dependable.
It is the greatest feeling of accomplishment when people rely on you and turn to you for help.

Empowering

Each part of the Yeshiva is a place of pride, each with its own character.
Empower you
manage money, be on time, follow directions, set goals, prioritize,
daven for the Amud, Lein, be a Gabbai,
be social and what to say (and what not to say), how to get along with people (and who to keep away from), keep positive, etc.
