Yoni Stebbins, Summer 2021 through Summer 2022
“My time at Hadar HaTorah transformed my approach to life, imbuing in me the common refrain, ‘Chassidim do everything they can and a little bit what they cannot.’ With the help of good friends, strong teachers, and utter dedication, a student of Hadar can draw down actual kedusha (holiness) into his life. Once a man has this kedusha, no matter where he goes or what he does, it seeps into everything!”
-Shalom Peckerman, Attended winter programs in 2020 and 2021 as well as many Shabbosim
“Hadar HaTorah is my home away from home. It’s where I go when I have a break from school to learn and grow with some amazing friends. Hadar HaTorah is my spiritual home.”
Hillel Rosenzweig, Summer 2020 through Summer 2022
“Hadar HaTorah has given me the foundation I need to feel confident in my abilities. The great Rabbis and newly renovated facilities make every moment present enjoyable. Being in the heart of Crown Heights gives more opportunities to interact in the community than could be imagined.”

“My name is Avin Kreisler and I am currently studying biomedical sciences in Arizona. I first went to Hadar HaTorah after my first semester of college for 3 weeks, then for a few weeks during the summer of 5781. Hadar HaTorah is truly a magical place and possesses the environment to allow every Jewish soul that enters to soar higher than they ever thought possible.”
