Yeshiva Gedolah of Bayonne is an Orthodox Jewish yeshiva in Bayonne, New Jersey. Established in 1990,[1] it includes high school, beis medrash, and kollel programs.[2] The school caters to serious students, who dorm on-site. The languages of instruction are English and Yiddish.[2]

Faculty

In March 2013 Rabbi Dovid Magid announced his resignation as rosh yeshiva, effective in 2014, and was succeeded by Rabbi Yaakov Rokach of Toronto.[3]

Rabbi Mayer Birnbaum is noted for his authorship of the Pathway to Prayer series published by Feldheim and ArtScroll.[4]

Alumni

Several Talmudic scholars of note have emerged from the yeshiva. Among the most prominent is Yecheskel Sklar, author of Toras Haman Ha'agagi, a complex treatise regarding the acceptability of Amalekite conversion.[5] Sklar is especially noted for breaking convention by engaging in pilpulic methodology, as opposed to the more common Brisker method.
