Programs
Personalized sessions
Whether in the Bet Midrash or in their business offices, men in the community enjoy custom tailored individualized learning sessions that enable them to grow on their own level in their Talmudic learning skills as well as in the areas of Shalom Bayit and Mussar/Ethics for a more calm and serene lifestyle. Students returning to L.A from out of town yeshivas benefit from a continuation of the same yeshiva style learning while pursuing their college education. Groups of young professionals seeking to return to Torah observant lifestyles also benefit from TILA’s support, as they are given the affection, attention and time to learn and discuss topics of Judaism they find challenging.
Night Seder
Torah Institute tailors to the spiritual needs of vigorous young professionals who wish to learn the Talmud in the evenings following a busy day at work or college. Whether attending shiurim at TILA or a chaburah, these special men leave the comfort of their home every evening, following a hectic and rigorous day, for the sake of getting together to learn Torah. Not only do they benefit tremendously, but so do their families and all of klal Yisrael
