Yeshivas Ner Yisroel was founded in 1933 by the Rosh HaYeshiva, Moreinu v’Rabbeinu Harav Yaakov Yitzchok Ruderman zt”l, with the goal of developing a high-level, Slabodka-style yeshiva geared specifically towards the contemporary American bochur.

The Yeshiva attracts talmidim from communities around the world who wish to attain their full potential in Gadlus baTorah and Avodas Hashem. Under the tutelage of the Rosh HaYeshiva, Moreinu Harav Aharon Feldman shlita and Ner Yisroel’s acclaimed staff of outstanding rebbeim, talmidim are exposed to the breadth and depth of Torah while imbibing the hashpa’ah and hadracha for successfully navigating the challenges of today’s world.

Ner Yisroel is dedicated to producing Bnei Torah that strive for gadlus baTorah who reflect their own unique strength and personality. Talmidim are trained that Torah must remain at the center of one’s life, regardless of his occupation. Those who are involved in a business  profession should be no less immersed in a sugya than their chaverim in the fields of chinuch or rabbanus. The Yeshiva accomplishes this goal with its diverse staff, talmidim, and educational programs.

Every moment spent in Ner Yisroel is a lesson in achrayus. Throughout its existence, the Yeshiva has developed, and continues to develop talmidim who are true ambassadors of Torah and Yiras Shomayim. Embodying the lessons of Ner Yisroel, they carry its influence everywhere – as distinguished mechanchim, rabbanim, and ba’alei battim in every profession whose lifeblood is limud haTorah.
