our mission
“Our Yeshiva will not simply be a place where the talmdim learn dryly how to be a scholar, a Rabbi, a teacher, etc. Rather, it should be a place of education - where a student learns and experiences how to be a complete Jew. In body (fulfillment of mitzvoth), spirit (prayer), and Torah – so that all who see them recognize in them the connection of the three aspects: the Jew, the Torah, and the Holy One Above” *
We strive to be a Yeshiva where every bochur can actualize his potential in learning, and fully develop as a chossid in the truest sense of the word—incorporating yiddishkeit and chassidus into his daily life. We believe that the surest way to succeed in chinuch today is by respecting and caring for all of our talmidim.
* From a letter that the Frierdiker Rebbe submitted as the introduction to “Kuntres Eitz Hacahim.”

highlights
- Remote and unique “small town” feeling. Situated away from all wordly distractions, the focus can be on learning, davening and personal growth. In this way, the mesivta is styled after the original tomchei temimim of Lubavitch.
- Postville is a chassidishe village. The bochurim join in with the baalei batim during their farbrengens and the baalei batim join with the bochurim. This leads to a strong feeling of inter-generational unity and camaraderie.
- The yeshiva has a great chassidishe environment, the bochurim grow in learning, davening, farbrengens, and thrive in the friendly atmosphere.
- We offer small classes, personal attention and dedication.
- Our talmidim are driven to skill based academic excellence, for which we present them with a challenging curriculum at all levels.
- Our magidei shiur strive to not simply lecture and pass on content. Rather, to develop the lifelong skill of knowing how to learn; this is a core principle of our academic program.
- Students develop a confidence and a passion and love for learning nigleh and chassidus, and for living with darkei hachassidus.
- Personal relationships develop naturally, as faculty members devote themselves to each student and his unique gifts and challenges.
- Our chassidishe and caring staff serve as mentors and positive role models and lead by example, establishing long-lasting relationships with our students.
- Our dynamic mix of bochurim is one of our most important secrets of our success. Once devoting himself to the privilege of being a tomim, your son will surely find his own unique place here!
- Our talmidim are given many healthy outlets, such as regular gym and swimming, as well as trips, shabbatons and more.
