Its curriculum is designed to provide students with an appreciation for and understanding of classical Jewish texts and Jewish philosophy and from an Orthodox Jewish perspective. In addition, the yeshiva runs an outreach program called Legacy Retreats and hosts family getaways and retreats in its Beit Shvidler Conference center. == History == In 1977,〔The Monsey campus was founded in 1979; see next sentence〕 the Ohr Somayach yeshiva in Jerusalem, Israel established an American campus in Yonkers, New York. After two years,〔http://ohr.edu/web/branches/monsey.htm〕 Rabbi Ezriel Tauber together with a group of lay leaders purchased land in Monsey, New York to service a full-time Judaic learning center. Monsey was chosen because of its proximity to New York City (approximately northwest of the city) as well as the Jewish local infrastructure that ensured easy availability of kosher food and amenities. They maintained the name Ohr Somayach and enlisted Rabbi Yisroel Rokowsky as dean. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ohr Somayach, Monsey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
