Yeshiva Sulam Yaakov

Sulam Yaakov
is an Orthodox Yeshiva in Nachlaot, Jerusalem; it is based in a 100-year-old synagogue.
The yeshiva was founded in 2006 by Rabbi Aaron Leibowitz, a long time Nachlaot resident.
It offers a one-year Semikha program, serving, largely, the "Anglo" community.
Alongside Halacha, as is standard, the program has a strong emphasis on spirituality and the development of interpersonal skills.
For this reason, the yeshiva was named for Jacob's ladder, producing graduates who are “very grounded but also spiritual”
