Yeshiva Zichron Aryeh is a small religious institution in Far Rockaway, New York, centered on advanced Jewish study. Its present-day identity is more useful to applicants than an unverified founding date: it operates as a specialized yeshiva rather than a broad-based university.
Applicants interested in its history can ask the admissions office for an institutional chronology, including when it began offering its current credentials. That distinction matters when comparing its academic offerings with those of similarly named yeshivas.
Yeshiva Zichron Aryeh's academic focus is religious study, not a collection of separate professional schools or liberal-arts departments. Its reported field of study is Religion/Religious Studies, and enrollment figures point to a small teaching community.
The institution reports nine full-time and two part-time faculty members, with approximately four students per faculty member. A low ratio describes the institution's scale; it does not, by itself, establish how often students meet individually with instructors. Applicants should request the current catalog to identify the exact credential, required courses, instructional language, and time to completion.
Yeshiva Zichron Aryeh is located in Far Rockaway, a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Queens. Students considering the school should assess the specific campus address and their daily trip rather than treating "New York City" as a single commuting area.
Far Rockaway is connected to the wider city by public transit, but travel times depend heavily on the route and time of day. John F. Kennedy International Airport is the most relevant major airport for many trips to the area. Prospective residents should also consider the cost and availability of local transportation outside scheduled classes.
Yeshiva Zichron Aryeh's religious-study focus reflects a yeshiva educational model. Applicants should expect the institution's academic purpose and daily practices to differ from those of a general-purpose college.
A prospective student should read the institution's own current mission statement and catalog before enrolling, particularly for its description of religious expectations, the relationship between study and credential requirements, and the place of secular coursework, if any. Its stated aims should be understood as institutional goals, not as independently measured outcomes.
