Our Vision
The “Magen David”, literally the “Shield of David”, also known as Solomon’s Seal, is the most universally recognized sign of Judaism and Jewish identity, both within and outside of the Jewish community. Magen David Yeshivah will become the most universally recognized brand for excellence in Jewish education and training, ensuring the Sephardic Jewish future by creating a leading, world-class partner for education and training; a highly visible, recognized and acknowledged center of excellence, centered and integrated into the Greater Metropolitan New York Jewish community; dedicated to anticipating and satisfying, in a nurturing Torah environment, grounded in the three pillars of wisdom, warmth, and excellence the holistic, lifelong/ongoing (pre-professional, professional, vocational) needs of individual students; as well as the ongoing needs for renewal and growth of the Sephardic Community.
We implement this vision using the following 7 Goals:
1. Enhance academics to ensure that each and every ‘student’ has a ‘meaningful learning experience’.
2. Ensure that each and every student is ‘supported’ in their ‘personal’ quest for ‘success’.
3. Enrich the High School Experience, allowing each student to fully explore their area of interest.
4. Engage and inspire each and every student to make a commitment to Magen David Yeshivah, the Sephardic Community, ‘Jewish’ life, the Jewish people, Israel, and humanity.
5. Empower and Encourage the development of the next generation of ‘Community’ ‘leaders’.
6. Extend to become the ‘Kesher’, a valued ‘collaborator’ in the extended community, in general, and in specific, the Sephardic voice for the ‘Sephardic Community’ on college campuses and globally.
7. Exist in the long term by creating a sustainable business model.

Equal employment opportunity applies to all policies and procedures relating to recruitment, hiring, compensation, benefits, promotion, termination and all other terms and conditions of employment.
