Post Pesach Program

The Post Pesach Program is a unique opportunity for returning Shana Bet students to get a taste of everything Yeshiva University has to offer. The Post Pesach program enables students to get a jump start on their college experience by allowing them to take up to six college credits over six weeks. A wide variety of exceptional classes are available in both Yeshiva College and the Sy Syms School of Business. Taught by exciting and invigorating professors, these classes will help students satisfy core requirements for either program. Students will have the opportunity to build lifelong connections with our world class Rabbeim as well. As part of the program, small and individualized academic advising sessions will be provided to enable to students to properly register for the following Fall semester.

The Post Pesach Program will be in person, with the exception of Friday classes which will be virtual.
