YESHIVA MACHZIKEI HADAS

1247 38 STREET

At a Glance

A Belz-tradition yeshiva built around intensive Talmud study, serving pre-K through fifth grade in Borough Park

Best suited for

Belz-tradition families in Borough Park or nearby neighborhoods looking for a pre-K through fifth-grade yeshiva where Talmud study is the central mission and their children will be surrounded by peers from the same community.

What stands out

  • Talmud studies named as a central program, with the school explicitly framing mastery of Talmud as the core skill the program develops
  • Judaic studies and religious studies built into the day-to-day curriculum
  • A narrowly focused elementary program (pre-K through fifth grade) that allows deep immersion in a single tradition
  • Located in the heart of Borough Park, where Belz community infrastructure is dense
  • Tuition in the $10,100–$10,800 range for 2020-2021 — modestly priced for a private yeshiva elementary program

Things to consider

  • The school is a fit for families already committed to the Belz tradition; families from other communities should expect a very specific cultural and religious environment
  • The program only extends through fifth grade, so families will need to think about where children continue afterward
  • Parent sentiment could not be assessed from publicly available reviews, so prospective families should speak directly with current parents and the school
  • Religious intensity means secular studies are present but not the school's organizing principle — ask specifically what the general-studies day looks like
  • Tuition figures reflect 2020-2021 and may not match current pricing

Identity

The School Describes Its Purpose As Giving Students The Skills To Understand And Master The Talmud, And To Imbue Them With The Maturity To Undertake A Lifetime Of Scholarly Torah Learning. Ethical Teachings And Torah Study Form The Backbone Of The Program, With Judaic Studies And Talmud Studies Listed As Named Programs.

A small, religiously intensive elementary yeshiva operating squarely within the Belz Hasidic tradition.

Community

Narrow By Design — The School Is Built For Families Within The Belz Tradition, So Students Typically Share Religious Practice, Language, And Custom. Families Seeking Precisely This Community Will Find A Strong Peer Group.

The school serves the Belz community, which is heavily concentrated in Borough Park. Because the program is built around a specific Hasidic tradition and a specific Talmudic approach, the student body is drawn largely from families already immersed in that world.
