Yeshiva Ohr Yisrael is an exciting boys’ high school located in Chestnut Hill. Our yeshiva emphasizes that Torah is at the very center of our lives, guiding our values, ideals and choices. With Yiddishkeit as our foundation, we view the pursuit of the sciences and humanities as a means to further develop our appreciation of God, and that knowledge of those subjects enables us to contribute to the world around us.

We are committed to the consistent study of Torah and the refinement of character traits. We believe that men who are inspired to study Torah and are armed with middos, knowledge and skills will become lifelong learners who will continue the Jewish legacy as a light to other nations. We believe that the Torah is truth, and welcomes any questions. We do not fear the secular world, nor do we seek to emulate it.
