About This School
Rabbinical College of Ohr Shimon Yisroel is a private nonprofit institution located in Brooklyn, New York with approximately 232 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $32,594 per year. The graduation rate is 41%, and the typical graduate earns $20,000 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at $12,860/year net price, the cost is manageable, but a 40% graduation rate and 60% freshman retention rate suggest many students don't complete the program, which is worth taking seriously. This is a highly specialized yeshiva serving a specific Orthodox Jewish community, so if that mission aligns with your goals, the low cost makes it accessible — but median earnings of $20,000 a decade out indicate graduates are likely pursuing religious or community roles rather than high-earning careers. Go in with clear eyes about the purpose of this education and realistic expectations about outcomes.
