YESHIVA AHARON YAAKOV/OHR ELIYAHU 's caring and dedicated staff strives to encourage, support, and guide each and every student. They are excellent role models who demonstrate their passion for educating the "whole child." How can OHR ELIYAHU make this claim? The theory and practice of values are an integral part of the curriculum for every class at every grade level. Each month, the entire student body focuses on a particular character trait (in Hebrew, middah).
