Overview of Yeshiva Ohr Elchonon Chabad West Coast Talmudical Seminary

Mission Statement

Yeshiva Ohr Elchonon Chabad seeks to train students in the skills required for understanding, studying and mastering the Talmud and the considerable body of traditional Jewish thought. At the same time we are committed to the understanding that knowledge is a means to a larger end. We seek therefore to help students build a world outlook drawn from the ethical and moral concepts of Judaism. If scholarship is to have a significant value it must orient its students to a way of life that, by its own definition, is good and moral.
