MASA Scholarships

The Conservative Yeshiva is a MASA program - grants and scholarships are available to students aged 18-30 from the U.S. and most other countries.

Study Jewish Sources In-Depth

At the Conservative Yeshiva you will have the opportunity to study Bible, Talmud, Mishna, Hebrew, Jewish Philosophy and other Jewish texts in the original and in depth. Many classes are offered on a variety of levels, so you will feel at home.

Explore Traditional and Contemporary Approaches

At the Conservative Yeshiva you will study classical texts in the traditional way – chevruta (preparing with a study partner) and shiur (seminar-type classes) – while being open to the wisdom of modern scholarship and the challenges of social change.

Join A Vibrant Close-Knit Community

The Yeshiva’s warm, relaxed and supportive atmosphere fosters strong ties and lasting friendships.
The program includes Shabbatonim, tours, guest lectures and socializing among students, staff and faculty.

Meet Diverse Students from Around the World

The Conservative Yeshiva draws students from a variety of Jewish backgrounds (from Reform to Modern Orthodox), from North America, South Africa, Australia and many countries of Europe.

Experience Jerusalem and Feel at Home

The Conservative Yeshiva is located in the United Synagogue’s beautiful campus Fuchsberg Center, right in the heart of Jerusalem.

You can meet friends at sidewalk cafes, and experience the city’s magical transformation on Shabbat. And while the language of instruction is English (except in advanced classes), Hebrew classes are offered to help your study in the yeshiva and to help you feel at home in Israel.

Promote Social Justice

The world stands on three things: studying Torah, serving God and helping others (Pirke Avot 1:2). At the Conservative Yeshiva students do the first two in the Beit Midrash and the third in the local community through projects such as tutoring immigrants and environmental work.

Gain Lifelong Skills

Conservative Yeshiva graduates bring knowledge, energy and enthusiasm back with them, becoming active participants and leaders in their home communities. The experience you’ll have at the Conservative Yeshiva stays with you for life!!
