The Application Process
Please Read the Following Talmid Agreement and Then Follow the directions to Apply
Talmid Agreement – Part I
TORAH & AVODA
1. All three Sedarim and Minyanim are obligatory and will be strictly enforced.
2. Friday Seder is until 10:30AM.
3. In Shabbos must be attended unless you receive special permission.
4. Befitting true kavod haTorah, a bachur is expected to dress accordingly. Therefore in the Beis
Medrash all shirts must be tucked in, crocs are not allowed, socks must be worn, and a jacket
is required for davening. Wearing a hat for davening comes very highly recommended.
5. As part of our personal growth and tikkun hamidos program every talmid is responsible to
fulfill certain zechusim (chores) once a week in the upkeep of the yeshiva.
6. Responsibility to oneself and to the Yeshiva demands a conduct that befits a true Ben Torah
wherever one is. Drinking alcoholic beverages very much tends to conflict with these goals.
It is therefore the Yeshiva policy to strictly prohibit drinking alcoholic beverages anywhere
on their premises without supervision or permission of the Hanhalla. Even outside the
Yeshiva we expect every Bochur to be sensitive to ensure that such behavior will not cause
a chilul Hashem or defame your Yeshiva. If this rule is treated lightly, unfortunately one will
not be allowed to remain in the Yeshiva.
DORMITORY
7. No smoking cigarettes, hookahs, and other tobacco products within the walls of the Yeshiva.
8. One is not allowed to change rooms or move yeshiva furniture from one room to another
without prior permission from the Yeshiva’s Hanhalla.
9. One cannot allow non Zeev Hatorah students to sleep anywhere in the yeshiva’s premises,
including Shabbos, without the prior permission from the Hanhalla.
10. All electronic devices that have capabilities of receiving internet or playing videos are
absolutely forbidden to use in the Yeshiva at all, even if you are not the owner. This includes
cell phones, iPhones, Androids, Blackberries, etc. iPod’s, laptops, tablets, etc. Every student
is required to bring these devices to the yeshiva Hanhalla and the yeshiva will provide free storage
until an appropriate break. If a student does not own any of these devices, he must confirm
this with a written and signed letter from his parents. The Yeshiva will provide daily access
to emails and filtered internet on dedicated computers. This rule, if treated lightly, will not
allow one to remain in the yeshiva.
11. No Students may leave the country throughout the year for family obligations or otherwise,
without the express consent from the Hanhalla. Furthermore students may not book tickets
for coming or leaving zman without insuring that there dates coincide with the Yeshiva’s
Yearly calendar.
12. The Yeshiva has on premises a washer and dryer, for a nominal fee.
