Nearly a Century of Torah & Excellence

Our Story

A Nonprofit Institution Built on Faith, Scholarship, and Community

Yeshivah Of Flatbush is a nonprofit Jewish day school founded in 1927 by pioneering Sephardic Jewish families who sought to build an institution where their children could receive both a superior Torah education and a world-class secular curriculum — without compromise.

What began as a small community schoolhouse in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn has grown into one of America's most distinguished Jewish educational institutions, serving over 2,400 students across Pre-K through 12th grade on two campuses.

"We were founded on the belief that the love of Torah and the pursuit of knowledge are not in conflict — they are one and the same flame."

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Yeshivah Of Flatbush is sustained by the generosity of our alumni, families, and community partners who believe in our mission to educate, inspire, and elevate each new generation of Jewish leaders.
