Yeshiva Gedola Tiferes Yaakov Yitzchok is a small Jewish studies institution in Lakewood, New Jersey. Its present-day identity is that of a specialized yeshiva rather than a college offering a broad range of secular majors.
A founding date, earlier names, and major institutional milestones should be confirmed through the yeshiva's own historical records before they are treated as established facts. For applicants, its current academic program, accreditation, and degree requirements are more useful than an unverified account of its origins.
Yeshiva Gedola Tiferes Yaakov Yitzchok concentrates on religious study; its reported field of study is Religion/Religious Studies. It should not be assumed to have the separate schools and departments found at a larger university.
Institutional enrollment figures identify four full-time and seven part-time faculty members, with a reported student-to-faculty ratio of 12 to 1. That ratio is an institutional measure, not a promise about the size of every class. Applicants seeking a particular credential should request the current catalog and confirm its curriculum, length, and graduation requirements.
Yeshiva Gedola Tiferes Yaakov Yitzchok is located in Lakewood, New Jersey, a township with a substantial Orthodox Jewish community. Its setting may matter to students looking for religious study and community life in that environment.
Lakewood is in central New Jersey. Students planning to commute or travel from another state should check the institution's exact address, their transportation options, and the time needed for a regular trip; being in the same township does not necessarily mean living within walking distance of classes.
The institution's academic focus is advanced Jewish religious study. That focus is central to evaluating it: applicants should compare its approach to learning and daily expectations with their own educational and religious goals.
Prospective students should obtain the yeshiva's current mission statement or catalog for its precise description of educational priorities. A specialized religious curriculum should not be mistaken for a general liberal-arts curriculum or professional training program without examining the courses actually required.
