About the Program

About  our College Accreditation

A little about ourselves

YPLA is a dynamic Morning Learning program for young men who have graduated Yeshiva/Jewish high school and are motivated to continue their Torah learning while developing their academic and/or work skills in the afternoons.

​Housed in the vibrant environment of Rabbi Brander’s LINK Kollel, YPLA ‘s program is directed by Rabbi Aryeh Steinman and Magid Shiur, Rabbi Yisroel Casen. Together they developed a rigorous part-time learning seder. Rabbi Steinman organizes Shabbatons, trips, and events, thereby creating a true chevra and a solid Torah foundation in which these students can flourish and thrive. While Rabbi Casen delivers a dynamic and deep shiur everyday, he is also there as a guiding light for boys seeking advice.
​
If you are a young man or know of other young men (17-25) living in Los Angeles who want to stay connected to Torah, YPLA provides THE place to share and grow in Torah values and connect to other young men in an innovative, challenging and fun environment.
