Developing talmidei chachamim who excel in learning and middot tovot.

Located in the heart of Highland Park, NJ, Yeshivat Midrash David was founded in 2021 by our Rosh HaYeshiva, Chacham Eliyahu Tal, shlit”a.

The goal of our Yeshivah is to develop talmidei chachamim who excel in learning and middot tovot. The yeshiva provides a warm, focused, personalized and growth-oriented environment where bochrim learn how to learn, gain knowledge of the masechta, study practical Halacha, and gain hands on experience in various areas of Jewish life such as shechitah and safrut.  Also, students pursue their secular studies in the afternoon.

While we greatly value the Sepharadi tradition, our doors are open to bachurim of all backgrounds.  We believe that true growth in Torah flourishes in an environment where diverse perspectives meet a singular high standard of learning.

“Not only have the bachurim recently completed a certification in shechita, but their maturity and middot also reflect the high level of Torah education they’re achieving. It’s truly a pleasure to have them here.” -Saul Beck, President of Eitz Ahaim

“The Rebbeim are fantastic! Our son is really thriving at YMD!”- Dr. David Weisman, Parent
