Bnei Akiva Schools - Toronto - Mission Statement

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of Yeshivat Or Chaim and Ulpanat Orot is to inculcate within our students an appreciation for and a commitment to Torah observances and values. One of the indispensable requirements for the effective study of Torah is an atmosphere unencumbered by ancillary distractions. To that end, our Yeshiva and Ulpana have established two separate campuses where girls and boys are able to learn and pursue their dual educational goals removed from social pressures indigenous to coeducational environments. Our goal is to mould a total personality, not only to tranmit facts and information.

GOALS

Yeshivat Or Chaim (founded 1973) and Ulpanat Orot (founded 1975) were established in Toronto with several specific goals in mind:

To create a Yeshiva environment where young and religiously committed Jewish boys and girls would be able to grow intellectually, emotionally and religiously in a vibrant Jewish setting.

To offer a dual curriculum of Jewish and secular studies that would arm our students with the methodological tools needed to become self-reliant in classical Jewish texts and give them a broad-based secular grounding in the classical world disciplines.

To deepen and strengthen the centrality of Eretz Yisrael and Medinat Yisrael as a fundamental element of our Torah world view and, to this end, to stress the importance of Lashon Hakodesh as one instrumentality of achieving these goals.

To encourage and fervently support the notion of our students continuing their Judaic studies at Yeshivot in Eretz Yisrael and in other institutions of higher Jewish learning.
