Yeshiva Sulam Yaakov

Sulam Yaakov (Jacob's ladder) [1] [2] was an Orthodox Yeshiva in Nachlaot, Jerusalem; it was based in a 100-year-old synagogue. The yeshiva was founded in 2006 by Rabbi Aaron Leibowitz, a long time Nachlaot resident. It offered a one-year Semikha (ordination) program, serving, largely,[2] the "Anglo" community. Alongside Halacha, as is standard, the program had 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 were “very grounded but also spiritual” [1] The Yeshiva ceased activities in 2018. (see Neo-Hasidism).
