It is inspirational to look back over 50 years and see the outcome of Alfred Frisch's vision. It is also a stark reminder that critical Jewish institutions like Yeshivat Frisch are not just born, rather they are made, made by the vision and sacrifice of members of our community, and then sustained by the vision and sacrifice of generations that follow. As we celebrate Frisch's 50th anniversary, we look forward to the next 50 years, and ask what is required of us in our time and place. Yes, Yeshivat Frisch is a remarkable success; but for that success to endure we need to address the needs of our own era.
In the short term, there is a need for more space, particularly athletic and gathering space, and we need to address increasing maintenance needs for our facility which is now 15 years old.
And for the long term, the challenge is to ensure that we not only continue to maintain our excellence and improve our programs, but also continue to bend the curve of tuition increases for everyone.
Yeshivat Frisch is a Modern Orthodox, religious Zionist high school serving the needs of the Jewish community of Bergen County, NJ and surrounding areas. Established in 1971, Frisch provides young men and women with an exemplary education in both Judaic and general studies.
We are guided by four core values: intellectual inquiry, religious growth, pursuit of passion, and kindness. In addition, we prioritize fostering meaningful relationships among students, between students and faculty, and within the wider Frisch community.
In offering our students a thoughtfully-created program of formal and informal education, we aim to foster the development of every aspect of our students' personalities and identities—intellectual, emotional, creative, communal, and religious—as they mature into young men and women whose commitment to Torah and mitzvot permeates every aspect of their lives.
