Yeshiva Services champions and guides yeshivos and day schools, advocates for resources at all levels of government, educates and guides yeshiva leadership, and defends yeshivos and their unique character under the guidance of Gedolei Yisroel, ensuring the continued growth of Klal Yisroel.
The Yeshiva Services Department of Agudath Israel of America accomplishes this through collaboration with legislators and government officials to bridge these worlds and ensure that the unique needs of our yeshivos are understood, represented, and fiercely advocated for. We also partner with other non-public school groups to tirelessly work on behalf of yeshivos at the city, state and federal levels on a kaleidoscope of issues.
