Yeshivat Shaare Torah (more popularly known as Shaare Torah or just Shaare) is a Sephardic private Jewish day school program located in Brooklyn, New York. It includes elementary schools and high schools for both boys and girls, separately.

Teaching philosophy

Shaare Torah is affiliated philosophically with the haredi branch of Judaism. Its stated goal is "to promote and foster the development of a Ben Torah, a young [person] capable of actively and wholesomely interacting with his fellow Jews and citizens".^[1]

Student demographics

Shaare Torah primarily caters to the Sephardic Jewish community of Brooklyn, but also has students from around the Tri-State area.

Post-high school

Many graduates participate in year-long programs at yeshivot and seminaries in Israel for a year. Afterwards, some continue their studies in similar institutions, enroll in university, or go straight into the workforce. Some of the most popular universities among Shaare alumni, such as Brooklyn College and Baruch College, grant as much as a year's worth of credit to students who study in Israel, allowing them to apply these credits to their undergraduate degree.

Leadership

The Rosh Yeshiva of Shaare Torah is Rabbi Hillel Haber, a Syrian Jew raised in Brooklyn. Haber had moved to Israel to further his study of Torah, but returned to Brooklyn to found Shaare Torah.

The Headmaster of Yeshivat Shaare Torah was Richard Altabe.
