Rabbinical schools, also known as yeshivas, are educational institutions that train individuals to become rabbis, the spiritual leaders in Judaism. These schools focus on the study of Jewish texts, including the Torah, Talmud, and other religious writings, emphasizing both traditional scholarship and practical applications of Jewish law. Students at rabbinical schools engage in rigorous study, often involving discussions, debates, and interpretations of religious texts. The curriculum may also include subjects like ethics, philosophy, and community leadership, preparing graduates to serve in various roles within Jewish communities, such as teaching, counseling, and leading religious services.
