Yeshivas Novominsk

Yeshivas Novominsk, located in the Borough Park neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, is an Orthodox Jewish educational institution that follows Lithuanian Talmudic traditions. The yeshiva, established in 1927 by Rabbi Naftali Shapiro and named after the Polish town of Nowe Miasto (Novominsk), operates both a high school and post-secondary beit midrash program. The campus consists of a main study hall (beit midrash), dormitory facilities for out-of-town students, and administrative offices within its urban setting. The curriculum focuses on intensive Talmudic study and Jewish law, with the post-secondary program particularly known for its advanced biblical scholarship and rabbinical training. Students typically reside in the dormitory during the academic term, following traditional yeshiva schedules that combine daily prayer services with extended periods of study.
