Magen David Yeshivah has served as the cornerstone of the Sephardic community of New York for generations. Over a half century ago our founders recognized that public school was not enough to deliver a first-rate education while keeping our families together and preserving our Sephardic Traditions. A group of visionaries, led by Mr. Isaac Shalom A”H, made the conscious decision to develop our own private school system grounded in excellence for both secular and religious education. MDY has since produced countless successful industry professionals, lawyers, physicians, rabbis, and teachers, as well as prominent leaders at the helm of numerous organizations. Magen David alumni have influenced our past, shape our present, and will guarantee our future.
