Jews: How do I enter a Yeshiva good if not raised religious?

I want to be a yeshiva student and study in a Yeshiva Chassidic but was not raised religious, Is this a problem? I can not read Hebrew well. Can I enter a Yeshiva? I am a teenager.

Hey there, Daniel – as a fellow returnees to Jewish observance, also named Daniel, I can sympathize. The fact of the matter is that what you are experiencing is not so rare today. A lot of Jews, were not raised religious, are in search of spirituality, and of those, some are lucky enough to find their way back to the faith of their ancestors, ie the Torah. I am curious why you want to go to a yeshiva chasidishe in particular. Do you know what type you are looking for chasidus learn? Or simply means that you will learn in a place where people wear black (or skin) hats? I mean, they tend to differ in some respects chasidishe of "mainstream", but is technically Chassidic Chabad Lubavitch, which is a very movement-oriented extension, and have a lot of programs (including a couple of Yeshiva) that might appeal to you. It is not my thing, but hey, it takes all kinds, you know? And Chabad long a great job. Someone who comes from a background not choose to be attentive and Attentive Torah later in life is usually called a "Baal teshuva" (literally "master of return", "Ba'al tshuvah "is the feminine form). And the Baal teshuva movement has really been taken up steam in recent decades, with record numbers of Jews to meet with its spiritual heritage worldwide. I have heard that the biggest movement of BT is actually in South Africa, but as it were, that the hand of the information is the second. I myself became an observer in my teens (I'm in the middle of twenties now) and I'm from the U.S. Southwest. The important thing to consider is that in response to what is happening in the Jewish people, now there are a lot of great learning and Yeshiva programs to suit the needs of ba'alei tshuvah. Feel to contact me if you want more information about them. I recommend starting by learning to read Hebrew, attend some conferences where you live, and then possibly taking into account a short program term, and depending on the course of things, a Yeshiva education could well be in the future. The first step is to contact your LOR (Local Orthodox Rabbi). I'm sure it will be more than happy to help, and also available with both you and your people, we hope to minimize any kind of tension that can arise if you decide to be more attentive (believe me, it happens – and it is better to have a rabbi to explain that you're not crazy, and that Orthodox Judaism is not a cult, etc.). I hope this information is useful, and again, for more specific information on apprenticeship programs, both in the U.S. and Israel, do not hesitate to contact me directly.

These guys are phenomenal! In the fall of 2007, the YU (Yeshiva University) Acappella Group set out to showcase their university's latent cultural side. Though they didn't yet have their cool name (a play on YU's athletic clubs, the Maccabees) and stood pretty stiffly during their first few performances, these trailblazers cleared the way for the future of the performing arts at Yeshiva University...
