Beis Medrash Heichal Dovid is a small religious higher-education institution in Far Rockaway, New York. Its academic identity centers on advanced Jewish study rather than a broad selection of secular majors.
A founding date or sequence of institutional milestones should not be inferred from its current enrollment figures. Applicants who want to understand how its curriculum or credentials have changed over time should request the current catalog and any institutional history published by the school.
Beis Medrash Heichal Dovid is a specialized institution, not a university organized into multiple colleges and professional schools. Federal program reporting associates it with religion and religious studies; that broad reporting category does not, by itself, establish the name or requirements of a particular degree.
Prospective students should obtain the current catalog before applying. The consequential questions are which credentials are awarded, how many credits they require, what portion of study involves Talmud and related texts, and whether courses include general-education requirements. Reported staffing includes six full-time and eight part-time faculty members.
Beis Medrash Heichal Dovid is located in Far Rockaway, a neighborhood in the Queens borough of New York City. Its setting places students in an established residential community rather than on a large, self-contained university campus.
Far Rockaway is served by New York City transit and the Long Island Rail Road, but a practical commute depends on the school's exact address, class schedule, and the route a student uses. Applicants planning to commute should check travel times for their expected arrival and departure hours, not just the distance from home.
Beis Medrash Heichal Dovid's religious educational focus is central to evaluating its fit. Students considering it should expect a course of study shaped by Jewish textual learning, rather than the breadth of programs typical of a comprehensive college.
That description is not a substitute for an official mission statement. The current catalog is the appropriate place to check how the institution defines its educational aims, religious expectations, and intended outcomes for graduates.
