Midrash Shmuel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Midrash Shmuel is a yeshiva for Talmudic studies located in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Shaarei Chessed. It was founded in April 1992 by Rabbi Binyomin Moskowits who functions as its Rosh HaYeshiva. At present, the yeshiva has over three hundred students.
Rabbi Moskowits is a highly regarded Torah scholar, thinker and educator. He has been a Rosh Yeshiva for over twenty five years. His profound gemara lectures are heavily influenced by his mentor, the late Rabbi Shmuel Rozovsky, after whom the yeshiva is named. His ethical lectures are influenced by Rabbi Yechezkel Levenstein. Rabbi Moskovits emphasizes a strong textual reading of relevant sources. His lectures are characterized by clarity and multi-level relevance. Most significantly, he strives to provide a context and approach in understanding how to arrive at drawing the essentials of any sugya so that his students --roshei yeshiva, rabbis and laymen alike -- can become great Torah scholars in their own right. In this vein, every student in the Yeshiva delivers, at a minimum, two chaburos ("informal talks") a month.
Midrash Shmuel also houses an introductory program called Aliyos Shmuel, with separate tracks for younger and older students, who would like to advance themselves in Jewish thought and learning.
