Chag Hasemikhah Dinner 09

SPOTLIGHT ON...

Michael Bleicher
Semikhah student

Michael Bleicher thumbTo quench my thirst for Torah, I sought a yeshiva with rebbeim of varied backgrounds, all of whom stand firmly under the umbrella of our mesorah; a yeshiva that excels in limud hatorah, ahavas hatorah, and shemiras hamitzvos. I found all of that—and more—at RIETS.

The RIETS curriculum prepares me to serve as a rabbi in the modern world by supplementing limudei kodesh with courses that greatly enhance my professional expertise, offering invaluable tools and techniques for leading a kehillah.

TORAH FROM RIETS
