About

Talmudical Seminary Oholei Torah, located in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, serves as the central flagship higher education institution for the global Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement. The seminary offers an intensely specialized curriculum strictly dedicated to advanced Talmudic analysis, Jewish law, and Chassidic philosophy, culminating in rabbinic ordination (*Semikhah*). Student life is deeply spiritual and collaborative, centered around grueling daily schedules of paired *chavruta* study within a vibrant, traditional *beit midrash* (study hall) environment. Distinct from traditional liberal arts colleges, Oholei Torah completely eschews secular academic coursework to provide a singular, immersive religious education designed to prepare young men for leadership and community outreach worldwide.


Wikipedia:Oholei Torah is the common name of the Lubavitch schools Educational Institute Oholei Menachem and Talmudical Seminary Oholei Torah. The main branches of the school and its administrative offices are located in Brooklyn, New York City.
