Torah as a means, not an end

The goal of the year is not to amass knowledge. We learn Torah to shape our character and our relationships.

This is how we learn

Gemara through styles: Meaning and method, so that a sugya becomes your own.
Middot of Rav Kook: Daily learning of Middot HaRav Kook, Torat Eretz Yisrael that shapes character.
Reflection and journaling: Time to ask how the learning has changed you and where it is taking you.
Chavruta: A habit built here that lasts on campus and beyond.
Close relationships with Rebbeim: In the Beit Midrash and around their tables.

“The heartbeat of YTVA is its Beit Midrash, alive with energy, relationships, and Torah.”
