Supporting the Original Yeshiva for Baalei Teshuva
For nearly 60 years, Diaspora Yeshiva Toras Yisrael has been embracing Jewish men seeking to return to HaShem and His Torah in accordance with the teaching of the Sages of Israel.
By HaShem’s loving grace, much good has been accomplished in the lives of many through the Yeshiva’s work, and in the merit of the Foundation’s financial supporters, may their reward be great.

In the Words of the Chairman
“My vision is that every Jew from around the world in the diaspora will come to Israel, and if they cannot come, that at least a member of their family can come to Israel and learn Torah, and enjoy, and seek the power and the holiness of Mount Zion, and to connect, and then shine that light for their countries of birth. As it says in the Bible, “Ki miTziyon teitzei Torah,” the Torah will go forth from Zion.”
“All Jews should come. You don’t need to have any background. The Diaspora Yeshiva is here to teach people with no background, and surely also with, to connect and be involved, and seek the holiness of Jerusalem and G-d.”
Rabbi Yitzchak Goldstein, Shlit”a
Chairman
Diaspora Yeshiva Toras Yisrael Foundation
In the Words of the Founder
“And we are the ombudsman for the whole world, and we can stand without blemish, with morality, and justice, and care, and be a nation that’s different, and the nation that we’re supposed to be—that we’re designated by G-d to bring forth into the world. And that is what is meant, ‘From Mount Zion will come forth the Torah.’ The Diaspora Yeshiva is the most serious institution that can be, and we want to play that role.”
The Rebbe, Rabbi Mordechai Goldstein, ztz”l
Founder of the Diaspora Yeshiva
Father of the Ba’al Teshuvah Movement
Transforming Lives
“Diaspora Yeshiva has allowed me to grow in Torah and middot [character] in a way that seems catered to me. It’s a place that isn’t about “one-size-fits-all”, but about finding my personal relationship with Hashem.”
– Binyamin T.

Mr. Avraham (Rod) Salinger
Mr. Avraham Salinger has been a friend of Diaspora Yeshiva Toras Yisrael and adviser in relation to archaeology on Mount Zion, Jerusalem for many years.
His contribution towards the renovation of the flooring in beis hamidrash across from the monument of King David’s Tomb was a great help in the completion of that space for the yeshiva for Israeli baalei teshuva who now learn there.
More recently, he generously donated the money to pay the Yeshiva’s hakira (lease) debts to the Israeli land authority for its campus on Mount Zion, after it went unpaid for a few years. This made it possible for the Yeshiva to make a new lease agreement with Israeli government, B”H.
