About us
Our Mission
Our mission is to improve the quality of life for others by helping people develop a moral and intellectual compass for living a fulfilling, wholesome life while contributing to their family, community, and society.
Our Vision
The Congregation of Our Layeshoirim seeks to equip its students with the moral and intellectual compass for living a fulfilling, wholesome life while contributing to their family, community, and society by:
- preparing Jewish men for life as practicing, thinking, contemplative citizens of the world they inhabit, the communities they serve, and the families they build;
- developing Torah scholars who are deeply informed in Judaism’s traditions, practices, philosophy, culture, and Halachic rituals;
- imbuing our students with a sense of moral and ethical responsibility to their Creator, their fellow man, and to themselves; and
- helping prepare individuals for such careers as rabbis, teachers, community leaders, businessmen, entrepreneurs, and other related fields.
Our History
In 2006, community activist and businessman Rabbi Shulom Landau founded The Congregation of Our Layeshorim for full-time, advanced study of the Talmud and rabbinic literature. Originally operating out of a small local synagogue with only 27 students, the yeshiva has grown to serve upwards of 1000 students, many of whom have graduated to become successful rabbis, teachers, scholars, spiritual leaders, businessmen, and entrepreneurs.
In 2016, after seeing so many students flourish in the yeshiva’s warm, student-focused atmosphere, Rabbi Landau saw the need for an advanced yeshivah program that caters specifically to young adults (ages 18+). At Yeshiva Gedola Amidei Dgirsa, students continue their studies in a more intimate setting with individualized instruction and a low student-faculty ratio, while also mastering the skills they needed to pursue fulfilling lives, relationships, and careers.
Today, the Yeshiva has built a reputation as a diverse institution where students of varied backgrounds and communities come together to pursue high-level learning in a warm environment that encourages success in all areas of life.
