Doresh Yeshiva
Address: 2636 NE 205th St.
Miami, Florida 33180
Phone: 1-305-705-2211
There has long been a need for special attention yeshiva opportunities and programs for young men. Rabbi Salfer has said, “We can’t wait until a boy feels like he has failed before we find him a yeshiva for his needs. There is a short window that we have to reach him. Successfully identifying his talents and needs early on and challenging him appropriately, while giving him the opportunity to feel success in what he likes, will give him what to continue building on for life.”
Yeshivas Doresh is for learning challenged high school aged young men, who have challenges with kriah (reading), havanah (comprehension), or classroom attention/concentration. The students come from around the United States and Canada and live in Miami most of the school year. Rabbi Dr. Salfer has developed various techniques to help them develop skills so that they are able to feel comfortable davening, reading from the Torah (leining), writing, learning Gemara, and also enjoying it.
