Modern Orthodox rabbinical students, such as those at Yeshiva University, study some elements of modern theology or philosophy, as well as the classical rabbinic works on such subjects.

There are some exceptions to this rule, including Yeshiva University, which requires all rabbinical students to complete an undergraduate degree before entering the program and a Masters or equivalent before ordination.

Some yeshivas, such as Yeshiva Chofetz Chaim ( in New York ) and Yeshiva Ner Yisrael ( in Baltimore, Maryland ), may encourage their students to obtain semicha and mostly serve as rabbis who teach in other yeshivas or Hebrew day schools.

Other yeshivas, such as Yeshiva Chaim Berlin ( Brooklyn, New York ) or the Mirrer Yeshiva ( in Brooklyn and Jerusalem ), do not have an official " semicha / rabbinical program " to train rabbis, but provide semicha on an " as needs " basis if and when one of their senior students is offered a rabbinical position but only with the approval of their rosh yeshivas.

Today, Yeshiva University enrolls approximately 6, 400 undergraduate students, 3, 500 graduate students, and 1, 000 students at its affiliated high schools and Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary.

The campus in Jerusalem, in the Bayit VeGan neighborhood, contains a branch of the rabbinical seminary and an office coordinating the S. Daniel Abraham Israel Program, a formal arrangement between Yeshiva University and 42 men's and women's yeshivot in Israel that enables students to incorporate study in Israel into their college years.

In addition, the program sponsors lectures and activities where students can gather under the auspices of Yeshiva University, and a guidance center to provide support to help ease the occasionally challenging adjustment to a year's study in Israel.

Yeshiva University also cosponsors major events for American students in Israel, such as the Battle of the Bands and Inter-Seminary Choir Competition, and an annual career fair.

The men's schools are represented overall by the Yeshiva Student Union, and specifically by the Yeshiva College Student Association, the Syms Student Council, the Student Organization of Yeshiva ( SOY, which represents both undergraduate MYP students as well as RIETS students ), and student councils for SBMP, IBC, and JSS.

Yeshiva even maintains an international connection through the many international students who participate in NCAA sports.

Therefore, the city has a large Jewish institution known as Yeshiva Toras Chaim / Toras Emes Academy Miami with about 700 students and 150 staff members.

Rabbi Norman Lamm ( the Chancellor, Rosh Yeshiva of the yeshiva ", and former president of Yeshiva University, a major Modern Orthodox Jewish institution ) advocated that some ( although not all ) homosexuals should be viewed as diseased and in need of compassion and treatment, rather than willful rebels who should be ostracized.

Rabbi Moshe Tendler, a leading rabbi at Yeshiva University, stated " It is very sad that an individual who attended our yeshiva sunk to the depths of what we consider a depraved society ,"

One of the most successful teams in Yeshiva University sports history is the fencing team, known as the " Taubermen ", named after the coach of the team, Professor Arthur Tauber, who served as the head coach of the team from 1949 through 1985.

The town is home to singers Gavin & Joey DeGraw, Yeshiva Gedolah Zichron Moshe and for many years, author Andrew Neiderman, who taught high school English.

Examples of these Hasidic yeshivas are the Chabad Lubavitch yeshiva system of Tomchei Temimim, founded by Sholom Dovber Schneersohn in Russia in 1897, and the Chachmei Lublin Yeshiva established in Poland in 1930 by Meir Shapiro, who is renowned in both Hasidic and Lithuanian Jewish circles for initiating the Daf Yomi daily cycle of Talmud study.

However, many do not officially refer to themselves as " yeshivas " ( one exception is the Conservative Yeshiva in Jerusalem ), and all are open to both women and men, who study in the same classrooms and follow the same curriculum.

Rabbi Mosheh Lichtenstein, a Modern Orthodox rabbi who serves as a Rosh Yeshiva in Har Etzion

He befriended two other future rabbinical leaders then studying philosophy in Berlin: Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, later to become rosh yeshiva at Yeshiva University in New York City, and Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson who would become rebbe of Chabad-Lubavitch in Brooklyn.

In this effort he also received the help of Rabbi Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz who headed Brooklyn's largest and more established Yeshiva Torah Vodaas.

Another was a cousin to Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, who was appointed as the mashgiach ruchani (" spiritual supervisor ") at the Yeshiva Chaim Berlin, but who split with Hutner on policy matters in the 1970s.

Hutner had a number of disagreements with some of the religious scholars who taught in his Yeshiva.

His students included Rabbis: Yonasan David ( his son-in-law ) and Aharon Schechter, his successors as Rosh Yeshivas of Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin ; Hirsch Diskind, son-in-law of Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky and long-time Dean of Bais Yaakov School for Girls in Baltimore, Aharon Lichtenstein, son-in-law of Rabbi Joseph B.

Yeshiva University has its roots in the Etz Chaim Yeshiva founded in 1886 on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, a cheder-style elementary school founded by Eastern European immigrants that offered study of Talmud along with some secular education, including instruction in English.

* Yeshiva Yashresh Yakov on Tuttle Avenue was founded in 1985 by Rabbi Yitzchok Lebowitz Shlita.

Early educational institutions on the European model were Beth Zilkha founded in 1870s Iraq and Porat Yosef Yeshiva founded in Jerusalem in 1914.

He soon resigned this post to open up his own Yeshiva at the which he emphasized moral teachings based on the ethics taught in traditional Jewish rabbinic works, especially Musar literature.

Eventually it was established and named Yeshiva Pachad Yitzchok, based on his life's work, in Har Nof, Jerusalem.

Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik of Yeshiva University had initially aligned himself with Agudah but later established his independent views on these matters and a host of other issues, such as attitudes towards college education and attitudes towards the secular-led Israeli governments.

He previously spent many years on the clinical faculty of Yeshiva University's Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

There remains a significant Jewish population, particularly on the west side of Broadway, descended from the previous wave of immigration, as well as students ( and recent graduates ) of the neighborhood's Yeshiva University.

Interestingly, the Yeshiva also had opponents on the left: Reform saw it as a threat because its graduates would be equipped to defend Orthodoxy against Reform's inroads.

The methodology employed by this Yeshiva places emphasis on the notion that the initial assumptions of the Talmud must be highly rigorous, and that the movement between the initial thought process ( known as the hava aminah ) of the Talmudic sugya to the final thought process must be fully unfolded and understood.

Carole G. Silver, Professor of English at Yeshiva University has also traced the euhemerist theory of fairies further back to Walter Scott in his Letters on Demonology ( 1830 ).
