Rabbinical College of Ohr Shimon Yisroel Outcomes

Graduates earn a median of $23,560 five years after completing their studies. This translates to roughly $1,963 monthly before taxes. With 80% of students receiving Pell Grants, most come from low-income backgrounds where even modest earnings represent upward mobility. The college's trimester system and intensive religious focus prepare students for careers in Jewish education, rabbinical leadership, and community service roles. These positions traditionally prioritize spiritual fulfillment over financial compensation. Monthly loan payments would consume about 15-20% of typical graduate income, which is manageable compared to the national average of 10-15%. The employment rate of 59.6% reflects the specialized nature of Orthodox Jewish careers. For students committed to religious scholarship and community leadership, this represents an average return on investment.
