Chabad yeshiva in Brooklyn dedicated to Torah study and training Shluchim for Jewish outreach worldwide.
Oholei Torah's curriculum consists solely of Torah study with strong emphasis on Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson's teachings. The school is notably distinguished by its exclusion of English, mathematics, and all other secular studies. The institution operates multiple divisions: Educational Institute Oholei Menachem (preschool through 8th grade), Oholei Torah Mesivta High School, and the Beis HaMedrash (Talmudical Seminary) for post-secondary Talmudic studies founded in 1970.
The main administrative offices and primary branches are located in Brooklyn, New York City. The elementary and middle school divisions occupy the Deitsch Campus at 667 Eastern Parkway (purchased in 1982, expanded beginning in 1997). A smaller kindergarten division operates at Congregation B'nai Abraham in East Flatbush. The eighth grade has its own building on Troy Avenue, and the high school occupies a separate facility in Remsen Village. The school draws students from around the world, with each elementary grade averaging approximately 100 students divided into four or five classes.
More than 70% of graduates pursue lifelong positions as Chabad Shluchim, initiating and directing Jewish activities in 75 countries with the goal of bringing Jews closer to Judaism. The institution serves as a flagship training ground for the Chabad-Lubavitch movement's global outreach mission. In 2019, the school added an additional year of study (Shiur Hey) to accommodate demand and provide extended yeshiva education opportunities.
Since 1979, the Beis Medrash has published Haoros U'bi'urim Oholei Torah, a journal formerly issued weekly and now biweekly, containing essays on Torah topics contributed by students, staff, and alumni. An annual volume, variously titled Kovetz Oholei Torah or Kovetz Pilpulim, is also produced. The journal occasionally features submissions from prominent non-Lubavitch rabbis and is edited by Rabbi Avrohom Y. Gerlitzky.
