The Israel Experience
YOY’s annual 11th grade Yeshiva Israel Experience (YIE), aims to strengthen the bond between our students and Eretz Yisrael. It’s a chance to deepen their love for the land and their connection with Hashem (G-d) and with our brothers living there. While for some, it’s a return visit and for others it’s a first, the trip is an experience all of them treasure.
Clubs & Athletics
Enter the building during free time and you’ll be met with an ever changing tapestry of opportunity. A drum in the basement. A robotics team. A joint student video-making session. The basketball team practicing outside.
No two people are the same. Different interests. Different goals. Different temperaments. Our small class sizes allow us the flexibility of tailoring clubs + teams for each class as a whole and each boy as an individual.
2025-26 Athletics:
- Flag Football
- Tennis
- Basketball
- Skiing
- Baseball
KVH Kosher and Yeshiva Ohr Yisrael partnered to bring Kashering services to the Greater Boston Community. Students, trained by KVH, visit homes upon request to kosher kitchens for Pesach.
Impacting the Community
As young adults, our students are entering the next phase of their lives. At YOY we encourage the boys to see themselves as part of something larger and to be mindful of their position as givers within the greater community.
- Running Yachad programming for people with disabilities (under OU auspices)
- Pesach kashering service
- Building sukkahs
- Reading megillah on Purim
- Help unload and distribute the Chasdei Lev orders for mechanchim

DORM LIFE
A home away from home
Yeshiva Ohr Yisrael’s newly developed dorm program welcomes students from across the U.S.
To ensure a strong, supportive experience for our talmidim, the dorm program is overseen by Rabbi Reuven Sebbag. As an experienced Rebbi and mashgiach, Rabbi Sebbag brings warmth, energy, and a deep sense of responsibility to his role as dormitory supervisor and mentor.
This exciting expansion reflects the growing reputation of YOY as a place where every bochur is valued, supported, and inspired to thrive.
