Overview

Mission

Yeshivas Doresh serves as a model which can be replicated elsewhere, for providing a Torah true Jewish education to high school age Jewish young men who are academically challenged, so that they will be able to function as full citizens. Yeshiva Doresh serves as a Jewish synagogue thus a religious institution.

What it reported doing in 2025

Doresh is a religious center and program, similiar to the Interpersonal-Dynamics Club model which is available throughout the world of education and schools. Doresh is there to focus around the religious culture, social dynamics, self-interest and building self esteem for outside of the educational part of the school day and for the weekends and Jewish holiays. Doresh looks to satisfy the reliious needs and demands of the students in schools, based on environment, tradition, and culture. Doresh coordinates wraparound services that religious students require to feel cuturally acceptable religious setting, which has the oversight they expect and the staff they can have confidence in. Doresh offers weekend and holiday activities, religious services, kosher ceertification for food and general reliious cultural oversight, which is all programmed around the school schedule and calendar.
