Yeshiva Hadar Hatorah is the world's first baal teshuva yeshivas for men rediscovering their Jewish roots.
[edit] History The yeshiva was founded in 1962 by Rabbi Yisroel Jacobson, a Chabad activist, to accommodate baalei teshuva interested in full-time study in a traditional yeshiva environment. Throughout its existence, the yeshiva has geared itself to provide its students with a firm background in Judaism, Torah study, prayer, Jewish law, Hasidic teachings and Jewish values. Among Hadar Hatorah's alumni are professors, doctors, lawyers, while others went on to study for semicha to become rabbis or shluchim to Jewish communities around the world. Many of its students are still in the midst of completing college or university degrees and take a leave of absence to come to yeshivah. The administration provides transfer of college credits to those schools the students had been attending, thereby giving the students the ability to study full time. It is located in the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic community of Crown Heights in Brooklyn, New York, where many of its residents are alumni of the yeshiva. It is located on Eastern Parkway near the Jewish Children's Museum and the central Lubavitch synagogue 770 Eastern Parkway.  The yeshiva is a branch of the National Committee for the Furtherance of Jewish Education. Rabbi Jacob J. Hecht, dean of the NCFJE, played a pivotal role in the yeshiva's development and was its dean. The yeshiva was later renamed Yeshivas Kol Yaakov Yehudah - Hadar Hatorah upon his death, in recognition of his efforts and devotion to the yeshiva and its students. The Yeshiva holds of the ideaology that the Lubavitcher Rebbe is messiah, and the idea is disseminated in lectures, through literature handed out, through songs about the moshiach, and through an actual moshiach class once per week. The schools dean, Rabbi Shea Hecht does not hold these controversial views. [edit] FacultyThe Rosh Yeshiva is Rabbi Yaakov Goldberg. [edit] Notable alumni
