...I can honestly say that it was the first time in my life where I had the privilege to meet people who lived every word they eschewed. I feel that I had extremely appropriate role models to connect with.

DERECH ETZ CHAIM FACULTY

The Derech Etz Chaim faculty is unique – down to earth, accessible, knowledgeable and experienced. The eclectic staff hails from a wide variety of backgrounds.

Students are encouraged to view the homes of their Rebbeim, all of whom live locally, as open to them at all times.

Instead of utilizing conventional classroom style lecturing, our Rebbeim learn with you in small groups (B’chabura). With an average class-size of only ten students, your Rebbe will always be open to your thoughts and ideas, and you will always be his main focus. In addition to learning together, students flourish by sharing with their Rebbeim both intellectually and experientially. The Rebbe-talmid partnership is one of Derech Etz Chaim’s most unique offerings.
