Ner Israel Rabbinical College

Ner Israel Rabbinical College, located in the Pikesville suburb of Baltimore, Maryland, occupies a 70-acre wooded campus that features a blend of academic and residential buildings. Founded in 1933 by Rabbi Yaakov Yitzchak Ruderman, the institution is a prominent Orthodox Jewish yeshiva offering undergraduate and graduate programs in Talmudic Law and rabbinical studies. The college maintains a traditional yeshiva structure where students engage in intensive Jewish textual study through its Beit Midrash (study hall) program, while also offering secular degrees through partnerships with Johns Hopkins University and Towson University. The campus includes comprehensive residential facilities for both married and unmarried students, with most of the student body living on campus to facilitate the institution's immersive learning environment.
