Shapell’s world-famous Gemara program takes the student patiently and effectively from being totally unfamiliar with Talmud study to great proficiency in it. We are passionate about sharing methodologies, key terms, and systems everyone can learn and apply. Our five levels interlock gracefully, and the student clearly sees his growth as he progresses from one shiur to the next. Each level introduces new classical commentators and higher levels of sophistication, depth, and difficulty. Students with previous experience in Gemara are welcome to join the program at the level that best suits their skills and will continue to grow tremendously. All our students, some of whom continue on to the world’s most prestigious yeshivot, attest to the amazing impact the Shapell’s education made on them.

Students at all levels study Chumash in-depth with an emphasis on Parshat Hashavua.

Our curriculum not only deepens one’s knowledge of practical halacha but also transmits the skills to learn halacha independently in traditional works such as the Mishna Brura.

Twice weekly mussar talks and daily hashkafa learning ensure talmidim grow as bnei Torah.

3 Levels of Hebrew instruction plus 1:1 tutoring available.

Our students learn not only the history of suffering and tragedy but also the lessons of personal and national resilience. By engaging with survivors or their children, historians, and rabbinic leaders our students are prepared to face today’s challenging new era with strength, pride, and a historical Torah perspective.
