Any thoughts on Yesodei Yisroel in Monsey?
I am hearing good things about Yesodei Yeshurun in Queens, but I can’t seem to get any info about Monsey.
Two of my brothers went there and I have one who is currently learning there. They all enjoyed/enjoy it from what I see and from what I hear. If you want your son to get lost and to not have a Rebbi, then this is not the right place. It’s very small and warm and the secular studies are good for a right-wing yeshiva. For 12th grade, the boys switch to yesodei yeshurun. The transition from yisroel to yeshurun was very good for both my brothers and they are both beasting it in the Bais and still normal people. I dont know if they’d be the same had they started off in yeshurun, only G-d knows. Basically, it’s worth it to go over there and check it out.
I hope I was helpful. Good luck with everything.
I had looked in to it for my son but it was not for him. The Secular Studies Principal, Rabbi Minchenburg is an excellent educator. I actually had him as a teacher 20 years ago and he was one of the best I’ve ever had.
A major factor you have to take into account with Yesodei yisroel is that the boys have to switch to yesodei yeshurun for 12th grade. its a nice idea in theory to integrate them into the main branch, but for some boys that can be a difficult transition.
