| • | Ohr Somayach (also Or Samayach or Ohr Somayach International) was founded in 1970. It is a modern Haredi yeshiva based in Jerusalem, Israel, catering mostly to young Jewish men, usually of college age, who already are religious or looking to become religious. They have an interest in studying more about Judaism's classic religious texts such as the Talmud and responsa. The Yeshiva also prides itself on its very strong and respected advanced programs.
Ohr Somayach is one of the most important yeshivas in the non-Hasidic world of the Mitnagdim. It is specifically designed to meet the needs of the many baal teshuvas ("returnees" Judaism) who are recruited either locally or from across the world where the yeshiva has established several branches, such as in the United States, Canada, South Africa, Australia, Ukraine and Russia.
The need for this kind of yeshiva was conceived and was originally founded by Rabbi Noah Weinberg who later moved on to establish the Aish HaTorah yeshiva in Jerusalem. Aish HaTorah and Ohr Somayach have established a long-standing friendly rivalry for recognistion, strudents and philanthropy.
The yeshiva is headed by its two other co-founders Rabbi Mendel Weinbach and Rabbi Nota Schiller.
