About Us
Bais Mordechai Yitzchok
A Bais Medrash Filled with Growth!
Through the selfless dedication of Rabbi Asher Fruchter, Bais Mordechai Yitzchok has become a cornerstone of the American community in Yerushalayim.
For more than a decade BMY has been a Makom Torah filled with kedusha — driving character growth, fostering Torah learning, and making a lasting impact.
Now more than ever we need your generous support to continue running strong!
Ten years of Torah Learning. Ten years of Growth. Ten years of Inspiration.
100s of avreichim and alumni are making an impact in their home communities and around the world… and their journey began at Bais Mordechai Yitzchok.
In Your Zchus
BMY's limud HaTorah is your limud HaTorah. Our success is your success. Our impact is your impact. Your generosity has made all of this possible and fueled our growth; our gratitude knows no bounds.
We are turning to you again to partner with us so that in the coming decade we can together bring BMY to even greater heights.
Founded in loving memory of our zaidy, R' Mordechai Yitzchak z"l, Bais Mordechai Yitzchok's mission is to instill in our talmidim those principles that our zaidy lived by — warmth towards his fellow Jew and unwavering emunah. Every day we feel zaidy's unmistakable presence in BMY as we strive to continue his legacy.
"Smile. Be Warm. Help Others. Keep the Faith."
— R' Mordechai Yitzchak z"l
Ten Years of Torah Learning
BMY is home to a diverse group of avreichim hailing from around the world — America, Canada, England, Russia, South Africa, Australia, Chile, and more. In our beis medrash there is no one "type." A span of nearly 25 years separates our youngest and oldest learners, newlyweds through grandfathers, each one drawn by the same desire: serious, consistent Torah learning.
Ten Years of Growth
At BMY we firmly believe our success isn't measured by the number of avreichim, but rather by the passion they have for learning Torah. To this end we regularly test our avreichim so they can see firsthand the fruits of their hard work. Moreover our rigorous semicha program challenges and drives our avreichim to accomplish unparalleled achievements in Torah learning.
Ten Years Strong — in Impact
With Hashem's help, our avreichim have achieved tremendous milestones:
- ◆ Mastery of major semicha subjects: Issur v'Heter, Taharas Mishpacha, Shabbos
- ◆ Additional learning in Ribbis, Maachalei Akum, Berachos
- ◆ Successful Rabbanut and internal bechinos
- ◆ Published sefarim on Shabbos, Ribbis, Niddah, Basar B'chalav & Taarovos
