In its quest to educate the students in a peaceful setting without the distractions of city life, the yeshiva moved the campus in 2009 to New Windsor, New York. It was there that the atmosphere was set and the program began to flourish. The yeshiva has seen tremendous growth and success over the last decade in New Windsor. This remote and tranquil setting allows the bochurim the opportunity to immerse themselves in Torah without distraction.
Yeshiva Ohr Naftoli is situated on a magnificent 50-acre wooded campus in New Windsor, New York. New Windsor offers small town charm as well as beautiful natural surroundings and the magnificent scenery of the Hudson River. This quiet and peaceful environment allows for undistracted Torah growth and personal development which accomplishes the mission of the yeshiva and lends itself to a positive learning experience.
The 30,000 square foot yeshiva facility encompasses a beis medrash study hall, classrooms, dining rooms, a full-size gym, and separate dorm facilities for the mesivta and beis medrash programs. The vast expanse of outdoor space gives the talmidim the opportunity for healthy physical recreation.
"When a person can learn in a makom that
has nothing else but Torah without any
other distractions — that's a place where
they can grow and shteig."
Only forty minutes from Monsey, an hour from Passaic, and under two hours from Brooklyn and Lakewood, Ohr Naftoli is perfectly situated to give the bochurim an out-of-town yeshiva experience that’s still close to home.
