SPOTLIGHT ON...

Gideon Black
Semikhah student

Gideon Black thumbRIETS is a remarkable yeshiva. I am constantly impressed at how it manages to be a makom Torah par excellence and also a home of practical rabbinic training—with these two aspects complementing each other and never diluting the strength of the other.

If a YU education is rooted in a synergy of Jewish values, then RIETS represents the apex of this philosophy.
