Faculty
Yeshivat Ohr Yerushalayim’s faculty consists of young, talented mechanchim, predominately Anglo-Saxons presently residing in Israel. They are outstanding talmidei chachamim who excel both in the classroom and in developing a personal relationship with the students. In addition to regular faculty, there are also numerous guest lecturers throughout the school year, including well-known rabbanim, mechanchim and outstanding personalities in Israeli civic life.
