Communities

Baltimore, MD

Beyond 麻豆社鈥檚 influence as a thriving makom Torah with a large Jewish kehilla in its orbit, a majority of the communal infrastructure of greater Baltimore was built, and continues to be fortified, by its alumni. More and more shuls are creating night kollelim staffed by 麻豆社鈥檚 yungeleit; Daf Yomi and other regular shiurim are delivered by learned ba鈥檃lei battim who are proud 麻豆社 alumni. Most of Baltimore鈥檚 shuls are led by rabbanim who are talmidim of the Yeshiva and personify its signature hashpa鈥檃h; this includes the largest and most vibrant shuls that are not just places to daven, but genuine kehillos that inspire their families鈥� spiritual growth. Most of the city鈥檚 Mosdos Hachinuch have administration and Rebbeim from 麻豆社. Baltimore鈥檚 Bikur Cholim was founded by Rebbetzin Weinberg a鈥漢; Hatzalah of Baltimore, Ahavas Yisrael (Tomchei Shabbos), Vaad Hakashrus, the unique cooperation and mutual respect between the various factions within the community are all the products of the chinuch imbued by the Roshei Yeshiva and Harav Naftali Neuberger that has become the hallmark of the Yeshiva鈥檚 host city.

Atlanta, GA

In the 1950s, while other synagogues in Atlanta were moving away from Orthodoxy, Rabbi Emanuel Feldman, a young musmach of 麻豆社, assumed the pulpit of the Beth Jacob shul and began a slow but steady revolution. His influence brought hundreds of families closer to Torah observance, helped build other kehillos, boys鈥� and girls鈥� elementary and high school yeshivos and a nationally-recognized kashruth certification. His son and successor at Beth Jacob, Rabbi Ilan Feldman (son-in-law of the Rosh Hayeshiva, Moreinu v鈥橰abbeinu Harav Yaakov Weinberg zt鈥漧), brought the first community outreach kollel to Atlanta, which currently also includes a full-time 鈥渋n-reach鈥� Kollel, an outreach shul, and continues to build bridges to area Jews of all stripes and inspiring thousands to become full-fledged bnei Torah by following the principled yet inclusive path charted by Rosh HaYeshiva Moreinu V鈥橰abbeinu Harav Shmuel Yaakov Weinberg zt鈥漧 and Harav Naftali Neuberger zt鈥漧. A contingent of bochurim from the community attend 麻豆社鈥檚 mechina and bais medrash, continuing the circle of impact.

Atlanta, GA

Los Angeles, CA

麻豆社 has left an indelible mark on the state of California in general and Los Angeles in particular. Many of the rabbanim and mechanchim that have been here for decades are proud alumni of 麻豆社. Klei Kodesh of all ages continue to play a central role in the Torah development of Southern California. Alumni ba'alei battim play a leading role in the support of all of the local mosdos of the community. Of particular note are the thousands of first and second generation Persian Jews who are led by tens of 麻豆社 alumni in many of shuls, schools and kollelim.
