Fast Forward a Few Years
In their own words — talmidim who came through our doors, from the earliest years of the yeshiva until today.
At Lev Aharon, we aren’t only thinking about the here and now. Our dedicated staff works with an eye to the future ensuring that our boys leave yeshiva as responsible, mature adults. The stimulating learning they’re involved in, the Torah values they absorb and the unique, personal care all contribute towards the boys’ personal and spiritual growth. We’re proud of the high-quality, superb individuals our alumni have become as they accomplish great things and contribute to their communities and society.
Here’s a peek at where our alumni are up to a few years after they left our yeshiva’s doors:

I thank Hashem that I went to Lev for all the amazing people that I met there and created lasting relationships with. Rabbi Yishai Rabi is a mentor of mine and is a rabbi that my entire family looks to for guidance in every day life. He was also a witness at my brothers wedding and at my sisters wedding.
