Admission Guide
Yeshiva of Machzikai Hadas operates on a rolling admissions basis, so you can submit your application throughout the year rather than waiting for specific deadlines. The school requires a completed application form, high school transcripts, and letters of recommendation from both academic and religious references.
Your application should include documentation of your Jewish studies background, as the yeshiva maintains traditional Orthodox academic standards. You'll need to demonstrate proficiency in Hebrew and Aramaic texts, particularly Talmudic study, through either previous coursework or placement testing during orientation.
The school offers both undergraduate and graduate programs in Jewish studies, with the rabbinical ordination program being more selective than general admission. If you're applying for semicha (rabbinical ordination), expect additional interviews and evaluations of your religious scholarship and commitment to Orthodox practice.
Housing is available but limited, so submit your housing application early once you're accepted. Most students live off-campus in the surrounding Brooklyn Orthodox community, which provides easy access to kosher dining and religious services.
During orientation, you'll take placement exams in Talmud, Jewish law, and Hebrew to ensure proper course placement. The academic calendar follows both secular and Jewish holiday schedules, with classes suspended for major Jewish holidays and during parts of the Hebrew months of Tishrei and Nissan.
Financial aid processing requires both the FAFSA and the school's internal financial aid forms. The yeshiva offers need-based aid and some merit scholarships based on previous Jewish studies achievement.
