Conservative Yeshiva

The Conservative Yeshiva is a co-educational institute for study of traditional Jewish texts in Jerusalem. The yeshiva was founded by Stephen G. Wald in 1995, is under the auspices of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, and is part of the Fuchsberg Jerusalem Center. As of 2023, the Roshei Yeshiva are Joel Levy and Joshua Kulp.

The Yeshiva offers Jews from outside the Orthodox world the opportunity to gain the advanced Jewish learning and communal experiences provided by attending a yeshiva. It uses a synthesis of traditional and critical methods, allowing Jewish texts and tradition to encounter social change and modern scholarship. The curriculum focuses on classical Jewish subjects, including Talmud, Tanakh, Midrash, halakha, and philosophy. Learning is conducted in the traditional yeshiva method (shiur and chavruta) with an openness to modern scholarship.

The Conservative Yeshiva's educational programs include the one-year program, advanced studies program, summer program, winter break program, and Nativ pre-college Yeshiva Track.
