Yeshiva Gedola Tiferes Yerachmiel is a small Jewish religious-studies institution in Lakewood, New Jersey. Its present academic focus is clearer in public institutional statistics than its early history; a founding date or account of major historical changes should not be inferred from its name or current location.
For applicants comparing yeshivas, the most useful historical questions concern continuity: whether the institution has changed its name, location, ownership, or accreditor, and whether credits earned under an earlier arrangement appear on the same academic transcript. The institution's current catalog and accreditation record are the appropriate places to establish those details.
Yeshiva Gedola Tiferes Yerachmiel has a specialized religious-studies profile, rather than a broad range of academic schools. Federal field-of-study records identify Religion/Religious Studies as its reported field.
Prospective students should establish the exact credential attached to their intended course of study, its required credits, and how instruction and examinations are organized. Those distinctions matter particularly to students who may later seek admission to a different college: a program's academic content, its credential, and another institution's willingness to accept its credits are separate questions. Reported staffing includes six full-time and seven part-time faculty members across the institution.
Yeshiva Gedola Tiferes Yerachmiel is in Lakewood Township, Ocean County, New Jersey. Lakewood has a substantial Orthodox Jewish community, a relevant setting for students considering an institution centered on Jewish religious study.
Applicants planning to commute should check the campus address against their actual travel route and class schedule. Lakewood has regional bus connections, but service frequency and the final trip to campus may matter more than straight-line distance. Students considering institutional housing should likewise confirm where their classes and residence would be located.
The institution's yeshiva identity and reported religious-studies field indicate a focus on Jewish religious education. That description of its academic orientation should not be mistaken for a quotation from a formal mission or vision statement.
A prospective student should ask how the institution defines its educational goals in its current catalog, including the balance among textual study, general education, credential requirements, and preparation for further study. Those answers are more useful for assessing fit than assumptions based on the word "yeshiva" alone.
