Dear Applicant:

Thank you for your interest in Yeshiva Ohr Elchonon Chabad. The following is the registration process for the Yeshiva.

1. Please complete the Family Profiile and the Student Profile.
2. For Beis Medrash, After completing the Family Profile and Student Information, please send your $400 registration fee to Yeshiva Ohr Elchonon Chabad. If your son is not accepted this fee will be returned to you. If your son is accepted you will have two weeks to refuse registration and this fee will be refunded. No student will be accepted without this fee.
3. Please have the Rosh Yeshiva, Mashpia or Menahel of your son's Yeshiva fill out the downloaded reference letter form and fax it directly back to the Yeshiva. (This form needs to be faxed from the Hanhala member without first being returned to the parents).
4. The Hanhala will review the application to determine if your son will fit into our program, and to which shiur he will be admitted. You will then be notified whether he has been accepted or rejected. Those students who have been accepted will then be able to complete the full registration process.

I realize, and hope you do also, that by registering your son in our Yeshiva, we are entering a partnership filled with responsibilities. The Yeshiva accepts the responsibility of trying to educate your child in the best way possible, while you accept the responsibility of supplying some of the monetary necessities – tuition – to enable us to fulfill our obligations. Just like the Yeshiva, even after parents pay tuition, still has monetary deficits for which it must raise money on its own; so too, parents, even after they send their son to the Yeshiva, still have educational duties by constantly reminding their child of how they would like to see him grow up as a chossid, yerei shomayim and lamden. Let’s hope that with Hashem’s help, each of us will carry out our responsibilities in the fullest sense possible.

I hope that with Hashem’s help, our partnership will be fruitful and that we will truly succeed to educate your children to such an extent that they will be a true source of nachas to you and to Klal Yisroel, as well as to the Rebbe, who is definitely looking at the continued efforts of his Chassidim to fulfill his wishes. Let us hope that when Moshiach will come, speedily in our days, we will all be able to point to these children and say, “look at the army that we have prepared for you.”

Please be aware that all students admitted to the Beis Medrash must pass a farher on two blatt of Gemorah with Tosefos as well as a Maamar Chasidus when they arrive.

Yours respectfully,

Rabbi E. Schochet

Rosh Yeshiva
