Lancaster Yeshiva Center
The mission of the Lancaster Yeshiva Center, which operates with an annual budget of approximately $227,000, according to GuideStar, is to “provide post high school age students with Torah education and vocational training.”
We were fascinated by the idea of a Jewish enclave doing vocational work in the midst of Amish Country in Lancaster, Pa., and decided to check it out. With a little digging, we discovered that Lancaster Yeshiva Center helps Jewish boys who have lost their way find it again, through the combination of learning a trade and studying Torah.
