Mission Statement

HAFTR is a co-educational Modern Orthodox yeshiva that strives to instill in our students a lifelong love of learning, community, and Israel. Our rigorous dual curriculum in Limudei Kodesh and General Studies prepares future generations of leaders, b’nei/b’not Torah, and critical thinkers. We facilitate our students’ pursuit of academic excellence and development of a personal relationship with Hashem and middot tovot in a caring learning environment.

HAFTR’s Core Values:

• We develop responsible and engaged citizens who are guided by Torah, mitzvot, ahavat Yisrael, Tzionut, chesed, and the values of Modern Orthodoxy.

• We celebrate the uniqueness of each child in our community of learners by providing innovative, stimulating and varied learning opportunities that address each student’s specific developmental needs.

• We are grateful for the United States of America, and strive to contribute positively to our society. We value diverse opinions and appreciate that we are part of a global community.
