Welcome To
Yeshiva Mevakshei Emes
A Passage to Ascend
We prioritize lifelong profits over short-term gains by crafting a yeshiva program for boys ages 17-18, battling their waning enthusiasm for school, yiddishkeit, and life.
You can recall a time when your son exuded energy, eagerness and enthusiasm.
But it’s becoming increasingly difficult to conjure up that image. Today, your boy’s shoulders sag, as if weighed down by a hefty burden. His exhaustion is evident, as lethargy sets in.
Perhaps he’s struggling with his Yiddishkeit, or attending yeshiva all day is impossible. School is so painful to him, that it’s turned into a daily exercise of survival rather than the foundation of his future.
Perhaps he doesn’t show up to yeshiva at all.
Yeshiva Mevakshei Emes created a solution with your son in mind. The morning’s objective is developing your son’s relationship with Hashem, infusing him with a love of Torah, and a kesher to a rebbi who sees your son—an exquisite neshama, with a bright, attainable future.
The afternoon’s focus shifts to business. Your son will learn how to become an entrepreneur, trained and mentored by successful, honest businessmen. This will furnish him with an early business edge.
But perhaps even more significantly, it will model the best of “Torah im Derech Eretz”—middos and yashrus in the world of business.
Torah Learning
We compress Torah learning into manageable chunks of time, so that your child maintains his focus.
The lessons become digestible. Implementable. And most importantly, meaningful.
Entrepreneurship
We infuse your son with the confidence to succeed. He will then select one of the following business options which fits him best.
Your son might shine brightest while working side-by-side with a local business owner who shows him the ropes.
Or perhaps your son is a visionary…with the ability to create his own business under the guidance of a mentor. If applicable, the mentor will direct your son through the process of building a business “from the ground up”.
Now, your son feels empowered.
He cares.
He’s exuding passion.
His future matters to him.
Inspiring Shabbosim
Shabbos is a cornerstone of Yiddishkeit with its unique capacity to recharge physical, emotional and mental batteries. Yet so many teens view it as a burden—not as the ultimate gift.
We nurture the relationship between your son and Shabbos so that Shabbos is viewed through the lens of anticipation, instead of dread.
We have a dedicated rebbe to help load Shabbos with enjoyable activities like Friday night “Tishes”, “Kumsitzes” and positive experiences with memorable hosts. Shabbos afternoon features learning and games, and simply “hanging with the boys”.
Connecting to Shabbos builds a lifelong framework.
What’s Different About Yeshiva Mevakshei Emes?
It is not a ‘holding place’ for your son
We help your “Out-of-the-Box Yeshiva Learner” thrive by rejuvenating his deepest desire to succeed.
It is a yeshiva driving results by maximizing your child’s abilities and interests.
It’s not about removal of ‘the box’.
It’s about broadening the parameters, thereby creating a personalized channel for his success.

Your son is a good boy... the challenges
are not your fault
You’ve raised and provided for your son. You’ve done your best to demonstrate the beauty, wisdom and EMES by living a life of Torah. But the typical yeshiva structure does not work for everyone.
Yes, you can roll the dice and have your son remain where he is, with the hope that things will take a turn for the better.
But think of the priceless gift of a clean slate which only you can bestow upon him right now. You have a small window of time to adjust his life’s trajectory.
Rekindle the flame of his Yiddishkeit…and the path to his best self.
