Imagine a yeshiva where each bochur discovers their unique path to success. Where students build lifelong connections and forge their Yiddishe and chassidishe identity. Where they can return long after they’ve finished the “system” to be part of a thriving community. This is Pittsburgh Zal.
Quietly, away from the hustle and bustle of New York, a revolution in the world of Chabad Yeshivos is taking place.
Imagine a yeshiva where each bochur discovers their unique path to success. Where students build lifelong connections and forge their Yiddishe and chassidishe identity. Where they can return long after they’ve finished the “system” to be part of a thriving community. This is Pittsburgh Zal.
The goal of Pittsburgh Zal is not just to add another zal to the crowded Chabad scene. It’s to create something new, something innovative: a home for life for the American bochur who never quite found his place. The bochurim in Pittsburgh Zal students won’t just be passing through for a year or two—they will be joining a lifetime community where Shabbos rings with farbrengens, where Yomim Tovim pulse with energy, and where every individual’s path to spreading Torah is celebrated, whether through social media, music, business, or traditional learning.
Currently, 30 bochurim are discovering their potential to impact the Jewish world. In addition to the “classic” Yeshiva sedorim—studying Gemara, Chassidus, and Halacha—some are mastering kashrus through AKO certification, and others are honing their skills in social media with Dovid Taub or developing their talents in music. This is more than education; it’s preparation for a life dedicated to shlichus in its many forms. It embodies the Rebbe’s vision, brought to life.
Pittsburgh Zal is thriving in its inaugural year and eagerly looking ahead to the future. They are seeking partners to join in this visionary effort and help nurture the next generation of proud Chassidim devoted to the Rebbe’s mission.
Your partnership isn’t just supporting another yeshiva. It’s investing in a vision where the “average” Chabad boy discovers he’s anything but average. Where the next generation of shluchim emerge not despite their diverse interests, but because of them.
Join us in building this revolutionary community. Because when we embrace every bochur’s unique potential, זרעו בחיים הוא בחיים becomes not just a saying, but a living reality.
