Hadar (educational institution)

For other uses, see Hadar (disambiguation).

Hadar is an educational institution on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.[1][2] The institute offers various programs to support the development of traditional yet egalitarian Judaism.[2] A major component of the institute is Yeshivat Hadar, which offers both summer and year-long fellowships for students to learn full-time in the yeshiva setting. Prominent rabbis associated with Yeshivat Hadar include co-founders Shai Held, Elie Kaunfer, and Ethan Tucker.[3][4]

Although its main objective is to train lay leaders rather than rabbis,[5] Yeshivat Hadar announced in February 2019 that it would ordain rabbis.[6]
