Bais Toras Menachem of LA, established in 5769/2008, combines Yeshiva/Smicha studies and academic/career training program for bochurim who require something different than the boiler plate Yeshivah model; a program that caters to highly individualistic goals and pursuits.
Our criteria is well defined: we were targeting a group of sincere bochurim, from good homes, who were looking for a high quality learning program, but for various reasons were not well suited to the “regular” system. Far from being an institution that caters to “second tier” bochurim, BTM has become a top notch destination that appeals to students looking for an alternative to the existing Yeshivos, and a facility whose smaller size and comfortable environment enables them to flourish. By balancing a well-rounded curriculum of Smicha studies, Chassidus, Halachah and Hashkafa, Safrus, Shchita, with career training in the afternoons – the program has enjoyed phenomenal success in keeping its students engaged on all levels. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, but the learning is solid and rigorous.
The uniqueness is that we combine the Limudei Kodesh with time for other recreational and educational pursuits. There are shluchim (mentors) who help organize the Extra- curricular program, cooking, music, farbrengens, hikes, trips, and Shabbatons.
Over our 8 years of operation, over 100 students received their Smicha, among many other achievements. Many BTM students are B”H married and have embarked upon their next stage in life to build a ‘Bayis Ne’aman b’Yisroel’ upon the Y'sodos of Torah & Mitzvos, especially equipped with the practical knowledge gained by obtaining Smicha, as the Rebbe wanted each man to be the 'Rav of his home'. pasted-file-1.png 2.61 MB
