Yeshivat Or Hatorah opened its doors to its first Freshman class in September of 1997. It the eleven years since, the Yeshiva has grown into one of the elite Yeshiva High Schools in the Brooklyn Syrian Community. In the past eleven years, the Yeshiva graduated eight classes and has watched their graduates become young pillars of the community. There is a beautiful mix of students attending the Yeshiva as evident by their post graduate activities. In the year after High School, approximately 30 percent of the graduates go to Israel to study, while the remainder attend College locally and enter the work force. The Yeshiva is located in the heart of the community on Homecrest Avenue between Avenue U & V. In September 2003, the Yeshiva moved into their new extension. The students now have under one roof a: Gym, Computer lab, Library, Classrooms, Bet Medrash and Dining Room.
