The beis medrashBoca Raton, Florida

Our mission

Our yeshiva was founded with one goal in mind: to serve as a platform for personal growth for every talmid, regardless of his starting point.

Growth in emunah and yiras Shamayim, as well as in all aspects of his education and life. It is a place that provides the love, support and tools our talmidim need to succeed in their future as adult members of Klal Yisroel.

Our vision

A yeshiva with a culture of warmth and understanding, and more flexibility than the typical yeshiva.

Lev Simcha is unique in providing a system of flexible and personalized Torah learning. We are building a foundation of honesty and transparency: a place where every boy has the chance of feeling successful in his Avodas Hashem, regardless of his level of learning.

In times of conflict, we communicate and discuss. We have meaningful conversations to resolve issues. Our rebbeim are trained to educate and support the modern-day teenage boy, and one of our main principles is to treat every talmid like an adult and with respect at all times.

The whole person

We see our talmidim through a wide lens, focused on their pnimius and their potential.

Every class is centered on being relevant, interesting and inspiring. Talmidim study Navi, Gemara, Biur Tefillah, Hashkafa, Halacha and Parshas Hashavua through both text-based study and group discussion, and follow the state-mandated curriculum toward a high school diploma. Sports, music and art round out a happy environment.
