The Rabbinical Seminary of America (RSA), also known as Yeshivas Chofetz Chaim, is located in the residential Kew Gardens Hills neighborhood of Flushing, Queens, approximately 45 minutes from Manhattan. Established in 1933, RSA operates as a traditional Orthodox Jewish seminary providing intensive Talmudic and rabbinical studies for post-high school and graduate-level students. The institution maintains a focused curriculum centered on classical Jewish texts, rabbinical law, and ethical studies, with programs leading to rabbinic ordination. The campus consists of several connected buildings housing the main study hall (beis medrash), dormitory facilities for undergraduate students, and married student housing. As one of the prominent American yeshivas following Lithuanian Jewish scholarly traditions, RSA emphasizes a methodical approach to Talmudic analysis and maintains selective admission standards for its programs.
