Supporting the Original Yeshiva for Baalei Teshuva

For over 50 years, Diaspora Yeshiva Toras Yisrael has been embracing baalei teshuva seeking to return to HaShem and His Torah in accordance with the teaching of the Sages of Israel.

By HaShem’s loving grace, much good has been accomplished in the lives of many through the Yeshiva’s work, and in the merit of the Foundation’s financial supporters, may their reward be great.

In the words of the Rebbe, Z"l

Rabbi Mordechai Goldstein zt"l, Father of the Baal Teshuva Movement

“And we are the ombudsman for the whole world, and we can stand without blemish, with morality, and justice, and care, and be a nation that’s different, and the nation that we’re supposed to be—that we’re designated by G-d to bring forth into the world. And that is what is meant, ‘From Mount Zion will come forth the Torah.’ The Diaspora Yeshiva is the most serious institution that can be, and we want to play that role.”

The Rebbe, Rabbi Mordechai Goldstein, Z”l
Founder of the Diaspora Yeshiva
Father of the Ba’al Teshuvah Movement

Transforming Lives

“Diaspora Yeshiva has allowed me to grow in Torah and middot [character] in a way that seems catered to me. It’s a place that isn’t about “one-size-fits-all”, but about finding my personal relationship with Hashem.”
– Binyamin T.
