A Jewish yeshiva is an educational institution focused on the study of Jewish texts, particularly the Torah and the Talmud. Yeshivas provide a structured environment for students, often ranging from young children to adults, to engage in deep learning and discussion of religious laws, ethics, and philosophy. In addition to traditional studies, many yeshivas also emphasize the importance of community and spiritual growth. Students often participate in prayer services and other religious activities, fostering a strong sense of identity and belonging within the Jewish community.
