Our Vision
G-d is revealed anew every day and in every individual. Founded on this belief, Yeshivat Otniel strives to serve as a meeting point between Heaven and Earth.
We study G-d’s word as was revealed at Sinai with reverence and deference to the wisdom of Torah scholars, and we listen intently to the present moment.
We aim to bring into harmony rigorous intellectual learning with emotional spiritual insights. And our learning informs our being and actions in the world.
Our students are not passive recipients; through humility, rigor, and deeply refined listening, each student is an active participant in the revelation of G-d’s word through our Torah and the living of a holy life that follows.
