THE GLORIOUS STORY
of the
UNITED LUBAVITCHER YESHIVOTH
"An inspiring chapter in American Jewish Life"
by
Rabbi S. Gourary
Chairman, Executive Committee
United Lubavitcher Yeshivoth
It is indeed a most inspiring and glorious chapter that the
UNITED LUBAVITCHER YESHIVOTH have written in the history of the Jews of
America. Jewish life in this country has been considerably fortified
and strengthened due to the revitalizing influence exerted by our many
Yeshivoth throughout this land. This revival of Torah and Traditional
Judaism on the American continent can to a very great degree be
ascribed to the work done by the many Yeshivoth in our famous network
of Jewish Day Schools.
The UNITED LUBAVITCHER YESHIVOTH are more than just Jewish Day
Schools. In addition to providing a complete and integrated Jewish
religious education in all branches, an excellent secular instruction
is also imparted in conformity to the requirements of the State and
City Education Departments. However, our Yeshivoth have succeeded in
inculcating within the minds and hearts of our many students those
lofty ethical and spiritual ideals of Jewish self sacrifice for Torah
and Judaism that were implanted in the souls of our students by the
late world famous Lubavitcher Rabbi of most blessed memory.
Our institutions have to their credit eleven years of fruitful
activity in the United States since the establishment of the first
Lubavitcher Yeshivah in America in 1940 by the late Lubavitcher Rabbi.
The National Board of Directors of these institutions are determined
to carry on the great work initiated by the world famous Lubavitcher
Rabbi, so that these academies will be a living monument to his memory,
and be dedicated to the high ideals of Torah to which he devoted his
life, Today the UNITED LUBAVITCHER YESHI VOTH are a national
institution for the purpose of furthering the cause of Torah and of
Judaism all over America and abroad through our many branch Yeshivoth
in various cities.
The UNITED LUBAVITCHER YESHIVOTH offer a complete Jewish
religious education on all levels, starting with the elementary school,
continuing through the intermediate and high school, and culminating
in the Rabbinical College of the United Lubavitcher Yeshivoth with its
authority to confer Rabbinical Ordination known as "Smichah". This
Rabbinical Seminary of the United Lubavitcher Yeshivoth has been
granted the authority by the New York State Department of Education to
confer Rabbinical Degrees. Graduates of this institution now grace
the pulpits of many Jewish congregations throughout America, and also
occupy an important position in Jewish life.
