I would appreciate seeing how various yeshivot have committed their
philosophy to writing. Following is the school philosophy of the Yeshivah
of Flatbush:
The philosophy of the Yeshivah of Flatbush Joel Braverman High School is
to provide an education in which Jewish Studies are taught in Hebrew and
which encourages and helps its young men and women to grow as benai and
benot Torah, full human beings committed to a Torah-halakhic lifestyle
based on:
*the observance of mitzvot and allegiance to God's Torah, both
shebikhtav and shebe-alpeh, as interpreted by hazal;
*the understanding of the parity of the mitzvot between God and men and
those between man and man;
*the value of ahavat Yisrael and areivut as motivating principles among
Jews and the need for active leadership and involvement in the Jewish
community;
*the appreciation of the establishment of medinat Yisrael as the at-halta
deg'ula, and the obligation to support and strengthen the State;
*the love of learning and the ability to study traditional sources
independently;
*the capacity to communicate orally and in writing, in modern Hebrew;
*the commitment to mastering the natural sciences and secular disciplines
as part of the halakhic imperative;
*the participation in the contribution to American society as equal and
loyal citizens.</HTML>
